Title: few for the aviation people
Post by: tunnie on 04 December 2010, 21:28:55

As promised (if a little late) some more photos of the Air Ambulance that landed outside my flat, in a very small space! Some pilots struggle to land in a field, i thought this was quite an impressive bit of flying...

No it was parked, although it could have backed up if he chose to, no plod  around to tell him no too. They left all their cars & blood wagons on the Bridge and the bus could not get through.

I don't have any shots of it, but his second attempt to land, he was about 2 stories off the ground and cars were driving underneath  :o

Drivers in London won't give way to anything  >:(
