The Ministry of Defence was making inquiries after a RAF Westland Puma helicopter landed
The Ministry of Defence was making inquiries after a RAF Westland Puma helicopter landed at Newcastle Airport to pick up a new motorcycle.
The pilot en route from RAF Odiham in Hampshire, to join a military exercise in Scotland refused to comment while he loaded the 250cc Honda onto the helicopter.
But a salesman from the Newcastle firm who sold the machine said that the pilot, Flight Lieutenant John Gill, had told him he had permission from his commanding officer to pick up the bike.
The seven ton Puma was originally supposed to land at a pre-arranged spot near Tynemouth Priory but bad visibility forced the helicopter to land at the airport.
