[00:26.99]Captain Ben Fawcett has bought an unusual taxi and has begun a new service
[00:32.89]The 'taxi' is a small Swiss aeroplane called a 'Pilatus Porter'.
[00:38.06]This wonderful plane can carry seven passengers.

[00:46.82]on snow,water,or even on a ploughed field.

[00:55.35]who flew from Birmingham to a lonely village in the Welsh mountains.
[01:00.00]Since then,Captain Fawcett has flown passengers to many unusual places.
[01:06.41]Once he landed on the roof of a block of flats
[01:10.20]and on another occasion,he landed in a deserted car park.

[01:19.97]The man wanted to fly to Rockall,a lonely island in the Atlantic Ocean,
[01:25.50]but Captain Fawcett did not take him because the trip was too dangerous.
