Once he landed on the roof of a block of flats and on another occasion, he landed in a deserted car park. Captain Fawcett has just refused a strange request from a businessman. The man wanted to fly to Rockall, a lonely island in the Atlantic Ocean, but Captain Fawcett did not take him because thetrip was too dangerous.
　　语法归纳：现在分词和过去分词作定语
　　一句话总结：现在分词和过去分词可以放在名词前面或者后面充当定语，起修饰限定作用。
　　1)现在分词作定语，与名词是主动关系：a shouting woman —个大喊大叫的女人;an exciting trip 一次令人感动的旅行;a passing boat 一艘路过的船
　　2)过去分词作定语，与名词是被动关系：a deserted house 一座废弃的房子;my lost pen我那支丧失的笔;a broken pipe 一个坏了的烟斗
　　3)现在分词和过去分词放在名词之后作定语相当于定语从句：There is a dog called Dudu (= There is a dog that is called Dudu.)有一只叫嘟嘟的狗。/ Please look at the student sitting on the chair.请看那个坐在椅子上的学生。
　　参考译文
　　本.弗西特机长买了一辆不同寻常的出租汽车，并开头了一项新的业务。这辆“出租汽车”是一架小型瑞士飞机，叫“皮勒特斯.波特“号。这架奇异的飞机可以载7名乘客。然而，最令人惊异的是它能够在任何地方降落：雪地上，水面上，甚至刚耕过的田里。弗西特机长的第一名乘客是位医生，他从伯明翰飞往威尔士山区一个偏僻的村庄。从那时开头，弗西特机长已经载送乘客到过很多不寻常的地方。一次，他把飞机降落在了一栋公寓楼的屋顶上;还有一次，降落在了一个废弃的停车场上。弗西特机长刚刚拒绝了一位商人的惊奇要求。这个人想要飞往大西洋上的一个孤岛 -- 罗卡尔岛，弗西特机长之所以不送他去，是由于那段飞行太危急了。
