When I say next to...I mean about 30 feet away in the field next door!

2 paramedics jumped out and hopped over the bank and off to see an old lady down the road. Pilot stayed in and looked bored...

Hopped back in and took off an hour or so later - took some pics as they were taking off, and as it was hailing, the downdraught peppered my forehead with hail, leaving me with a nice mottled forehead...

They do a fantastic job and it never ceases to amaze me where those things are able to land!

I was lucky enough to blag a ride in an R.A.F. Puma once, low level at Stanford training area near Thetford, now that WAS fun :D

I'd have run over asked for an ice cream. Just to see if the Ambulance joke works on helicopters too :)

Offered the pilot a cuppa, but he seemed more interested in his daily express...

I know...gales force winds here yesterday (the norm), but hailing (not the norm), and the pilot still manages to, errr...get it up, only a few feet from the power lines too....
