Once that heat seeker is on you mind you will do well to get away. Quote Link to post

chartpolski 24,866 Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 I wouldn't worry to much about police fixed wing aircraft when out poaching. Theyve become somewhat of an embarrassment, and may be given to the Coastguard . They are not as effective as rotary wing helicopters, not as manoeuvrable, need specialised runways, slower to get in the air, can't "loiter", and are, generally, more expensive to operate. Seems they were a bit of a vanity project, costing millions, but, of course, no one will be held responsible ! Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post

They'd be better off setting up a paragliding department and @king could be in charge, be a win-win for the police and the poacher. 1 Quote Link to post

Pilots have to log so many hours a month to keep their licence. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post
Bosun11 537 Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Never knew they used planes for poaching. I thought it was all helicopters and drones over there? Helicopters are just about impossible to get away from and even if you get back to your vehicle it's pretty much game over, your just gonna end up in a pointless and dangerous chase, with the inevitable outcome... Nope if your gonna get nicked, then get nicked in style, make sure your in the middle of the sloppiest field you can get too and wait for the cavelry to arrive. If you've got decent weatherproof gear on, get that mud and shite all over you (and your dogs) Just watch their faces when they've got to march through the slop to get to you, getting their shiney boots an pressed kecks caked in it. Then have to put you and your dogs into lovely, pristeen vehicles. Oh and keep it jovial, you should be laughing at the state their in and asking if they really want to put you in their nice car...
