With my friend Alyn, I was exploring a cave in a rocky outcrop at Whatipu, and discovered a homeless guy living in it. He was a little belligerent but as we got talking he revealed that he used to be a helicopter pilot and the rock was also an old derelict UH-1 Iroquois helicopter. Just then Pierce Brosnan came along and said he could get it going again.
He flipped rows of switches, there was a whine of a turbine engine, and the rock/helicopter (it was both things at exactly the same time, and space) got moving, but couldn't quite get airborne because of it's aged disrepair, so we simply skimmed and bounced at speed across the sand dunes.
