Great news this morning. The perfectly planned chopper scheduled to help Daniel Forster capture the spectacular nature of a start within the confines of Hong Kong harbour found itself mechanically unable to fly. The cruelest aspect is, of course, that it is April 1, so when the news came through everyone laughed. Good joke, ha ha, now get in the cockpit and fly! Thank goodness the snapper did not throw a prima donna hissy fit when he was asked politely to hop in a rib instead. So we have some images to show for it on www.regattanews.com
