1Does Captain Fawcett think any trip is too dangerous?
2Captain Ben Fawcett has bought an unusual taxi and has begun a new service.
3The 'taxi' is a small Swiss aeroplane called a 'Pilatus Porter'.
4This wonderful plane can carry seven passengers.
5The most surprising thing about it,
6however, is that it can land anywhere:
7 on snow, water, or even on a ploughed field.
8Captain Fawcett's first passenger was a doctor who flew from Birmingham to a lonely village in the Welsh mountains.
9Since then, Captain Fawcett has flown passengers to many unusual places.
10Once he landed on the roof of a block of flats and on another occasion,
11 he landed in a deserted car park.
12Captain Fawcett has just refused a strange request from a businessman.
13The man wanted to fly to Rockall,
14a lonely island in the Atlantic Ocean,
15but Captain Fawcett did not take him because the trip was too dangerous.
