[00:15.69]Captain Ben Fawcett has bought an unusual taxi and has begun a new service. [00:23.34]The 'taxi' is a small Swiss aeroplane called a 'Pilatus Porter'. [00:29.69]This wonderful plane can carry seven passengers. [00:34.40]The most surprising thing about it, however, is that it can land anywhere: on snow, water, or even on a ploughed field. [00:47.11]Captain Fawcett's first passenger was a doctor who flew from Birmingham to a lonely village in the Welsh mountains. [00:56.89]Since then, Captain Fawcett has flown passengers to many unusual places. [01:04.48]Once he landed on the roof of a block of flats and on another occasion, he landed in a deserted car park. [01:14.86]Captain Fawcett has just refused a strange request from a businessman. [01:21.17]The man wanted to fly to Rockall, a lonely island in the Atlantic Ocean, [01:28.27]but Captain Fawcett did not take him because the trip was too dangerous.
