Motorcycle courier Southampton

I have a job on Wednesday 29th involving a boat and a helicopter with film crews. The film DVD will land at Lee On Solent about 5-5.45pm and needs to get to Southampton Docks. Anyone about who can do this on motorcycle

Get the helicopter to swing into the docks . Lots of space to land and Soton zone controllers are usually happy to assist 'interesting' stuff happen . Prob four mins flying each way

We looked at this, but with drop offs and times heli will land probably as we moor at Ocean Village and needs to move straight away, so need options of courier someone knows. Will also be dark after clocks move to winter mode!!!

I remember someone landed a helio at the docks (dock gate 4) and the down draft caused thousands of pounds of damage with stone chips to the cars waiting to load to WWL vessels.
