Is that a gun or a camera that bloke has, as coming from Belfast I have never seen anyone in a chopper with a camera before.

It's a camera. He is taking images on behalh of Oceanvillageholidays as both Ocean Village and Ocean Village 2 pass for the first time. I was on Ocean Village 2 (on it's maiden voyage). It was quite an event. We actually got the chopper to hover as we waved in unison on the top deck. It was well co-ordinated and ought to look good in future publications.

I was there on that day, at the beach bar just visible to the rear of the aircraft. It was quite a landing - the jockey put it down before the runway "piano keys" which is a bit of a no-no!
