Helicopter Heroes returns to BBC One

[%solution]

Watch out for a new series of Helicopter Heroes from Monday, 09.15 on BBCONE. In the first show, the Yorkshire Air Ambulance is called to rescue a rambler attacked by a herd of cows...

[HowlingMad Murdock]

Thanks for that..... should be a moooooooving episode;)

[Whirlygig]

Any udder episodes?

Cheers

Whirls

[Adam Nams]

Did they land or just come to the hoofer?

[Scotsheli]

...and in the next episode they race to the assistance of someone who is friesian to death on a mountain!

I wonder how long we can milk this one for?

[TiPwEiGhT]

After saving that man they deserve a... pat... on the the back.

[misterbonkers]

Still, it cud have been a lot worse.

[OvertHawk]

I'd herd it was quite a scary incident!

[Lioncopter]

This all sounds allot of bull to me......

[Ed Winchester]

This is grazy talk.

[Scotsheli]

Come on guys, pull the udder one!

[StAn gelo]

Moo can't be serious.....

[PlasticCabDriver]

Did they have to come in low level?

[oldbeefer]

Must have been on the horns of a dilemma

[fijdor]

Oh boy this is going to be a long tread, wait till the jokes start coming:ok:

JD

[eltonioni]

Too right, they will be milking it for all it's worth.

[JimBall]

If you stack all the jokes on this vertically, they'll be pasteurize in no time.

I heifer to get my coat.

[Ed Winchester]

It has to be said, there was a lot at steak.

[hands_on123]

Can someone explain why they are "heros"? Are offshore pilots "heros" too?

[500e]

Well its quite a long tail 123

[jayteeto]

Listen 123, I got in touch with the Beeb and asked them to change the name to 'Handsome Helicopter Heroes' but they said that the offshore guys were already too jealous. They get the extra money, we get the ego, its the law. Oh and to stick with the thread........ there are udder reasons too.

[John R81]

Hands on 123

Easy - not many cowes offshore - and you oil guys don't fly near to it

[Adam Nams]

Everyone knows that the onshore pilots are the crème de la crème.

[fly911]

Sorry we don't get the British channels or shows here in the states. Some day. We had a show called MAUI CHOPPERS taped in Hawaii of course that was great to watch IMO. Hoping that they bring it back. Maui Chopper on truTV.com (http://www.trutv.com/shows/maui_chopper/index.html)

[HowlingMad Murdock]

Quick cows! M[/URL]ooove out of the whey! [URL="http://dwightschultz.freeforums.org/posting.php?mode=reply&f=42&t=4329#"]http://dwightschultz.freeforums.org/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif (http://dwightschultz.freeforums.org/posting.php?mode=reply&f=42&t=4329#)

[JimBall]

Sorry. Just nipped out to find the leather forecast. It was hide-ing. My opinion of the Met Office has been suede by this incident.

[Thud_and_Blunder]

I see 123's hoofed it out of the thread :rolleyes: - probably not his field of expertise.

[SilsoeSid]

This mornings episode had snow on the ground, must have been fresian out there !

[SilsoeSid]

I couldn't do their job, I haven't the stomachs for it !

[SirSokky]

:D

This thread is a complete load of bullock's!!:E

[206Fan]

You said it SirSokky. Complete load of Bull and Udder nonsence!!

[TRC]

I guess the producers must have buttered up the TV company for them to show it, but it is a slap in the chops for me.

I've been ruminating about this, and I really didn't want to bring it up again - but why they keep churning it out is beyond me. Leading the viewers by the nose, and hoping they won't beef about another load of manure.

I'm pleased to see that they are getting a good ribbing on here.

[chopper2004]

It will be a teat to watch :ugh::cool::ok:

[HowlingMad Murdock]

Helicopter Heroes...they should be knighted -arise Sirloin! http://dwightschultz.freeforums.org/download/file.php?icon=heli.gif (http://dwightschultz.freeforums.org/posting.php?mode=reply&f=50&t=4359#)

[toptobottom]

I think I've herd enough now; veal have to mooove on soon..

[SilsoeSid]

We need to steer this thread a different way... 'I can't believe it's not better'.

[22clipper]

I think I can get BBC on Foxtel here in Aus? The fam reckon me watchin' helicopter shows on the TV while chewing on something is the absolute picture of bovine contentment, which sort of sums up this thread to date?

[toptobottom]

Well, looks like we've milked this one to death now :p

22Clipper - depends what you're chewing on I suppose :}. You can watch it on BBC iPlayer (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/) shortly after it's broadcast, but you'll probably need this (http://www.identitycloaker.com/)

[telecat]

Nice to see the "Pistonheads" sticker still on HeliMed 98. The "Hammycopter".

And get well soon to Chris Askrigg that was a fall!!!!

[Aucky]

I fillets gone far enough now you lot. Just having a butchers for it on iPlayer

[John R81]

Do we really want to put this one out to grass?

Some of these comments are the cream de la cream

[TRC]

John, you're quite right.

I'm not going to mince my words here. Some of the comments are a cut above the rest, most are well thought out but some are off the calf - and heifer so clever. On the topside, I'd say. One or two deserve a medallion.

Not bad for this joint.

[S76airmedical]

Good to see a good sence of humor...or bad. :bored: Pretty funny.:)
I just don't know what the "beef" is that some of you have with this kind of humor?! :=

Safe flying to all. Be sure to douple check you cow-ling latches. :rolleyes:

Cheers

[Scotsheli]

Surely we should all burger off and do something more productive now?

[500e]

While you lot are chewing the cud some of us have work to do, others are cowering in the long grass awaiting the chop, and there are herds of them that believe all the bull they are fed.

[S76airmedical]

QUOTE: Surely we should all burger off and do something more productive now?

Would you like a milk shake to go with that burger sir?
;)

[TRC]

I generally avoid this sort of programme anyway, they are far too homogenous and the pictures are too jerky - but the stuff that you see on David Attenborough's programmes really takes the brisket.

[Blue Thunder]

These Helicopter Heroes got a nasty shock in mondays episode when the 902 skid snaps underneath them while preparing for take off!

Is there no form of non destuctive testing that is carried out on the skids, especially on HEMS 902 a/c that carry out landings on rough ground?

How old was the a/c in question, and does anyone know what the CAA MOR outcome was? Are the 902 skids time lifed now?

Incident is 3/4 way through episode, after the para glider rescue.

[stringfellow]

the look on tims face was priceless!!! today pilot chris adds yet another activity to his long list of dont dos!!! cobby tho remains my favourite pilot!!!!

[Windsor Loft]

I saw the one with the snow.....Needed a jersey or they'd be friesian.

[PANews]

The front skid appears to have been corroded and it is still being sorted out by the certification authorities as YAA pay the parking fees at Staverton. A triangle of trouble...... CAA.... AAIB..... FAA.... as everyone else sits and waits for their deliberations.... When they get round to an answer maybe the repair can be done. 3 months and counting.

The aircraft was ex- BP Airfast in Indonesia and had been grounded for a while.

You just cannot see through the paint to the trouble within.
