stubby 175 Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 well, my missus (wasp, on the forum) does motorbike leather repairs, mostly for "the london bikers" anyhow a couple of weeks back, she voluntered to repair the london air ambulance crew's flight suits, medical bags etc, free of charge, as "the london bikers" do a lot of fund raising, for them and the essex air amblance, she then recieved an invite to the helipad on top of london hospital, a full tour of the place, it was well interesting, heres a short video I took on my mobile, as it pans around to the right, you can see the new blue london hospital, although the inside is not finished yet, bit windy, but a great day out....

stubby 175 Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 ,wher's the guard rail?is that all there is just a bit of mesh between you and a bloody great drop . I had thought that when we first went up there, as I approached the edge and peered over, theres another floor level just under it, still would'ent want to take a tumble though, while we were there, a call went out, so we got to see the helicopter take off, but within minutes, it came over the radio, that it was'ent as bad an accident as first thought, and the helicopter was returning, so have video of both take-off and landing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wasp 0 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 The video of them going out on the call to a guy apparently trapped under a car! but turned out not to be as serious as first thought and they were told to stand down...so back they came Thanks for all the nice words guys..i just got to a time in my life when i thought its time to give something back so to speak Quote Link to post Share on other sites
