It may be a bit off topic but one of my neighbours who lives about a mile from my house flys a full sized unlicenced/unregistered helicopter out of his garden!! Apparently it cant be registered as it doesn't conform to CAA regulations.

How he got it into the country in the first place I'm not sure but God knows what would happen if he crashed it!!

Well, there are a few video's about, mostly from elsewhere in the world.
suppose you can build a flying machine for use on your own land/air space if you so wish
