Gull strikes helicopter forcing 800ft plunge

[mhm]

A seagull that crashed into a helicopter, smashing its windscreen, caused the aircraft to plunge 800ft and the captain to make a mayday call.


Phil Robinson who was training Howard Stott, from Burnley, was however, able to safely land the machine at the City Airport and Heliport, Eccles, following the drama above the skies of Bolton.
