Ah you waited.....

I contacted the Essex Police producers this morning.

Safe Landing was only made on VHS & has not been updated to DVD/CD although all the work they now do is on DVD. That suggests the original would suffer from not having Worldwide compatability. I believe it will still be available.

The film was sold in bulk to Lancashire, Cambridgeshire & West Yorkshire Constabulary’s as well as being used in Essex.

Since making the film the Air Ambulance and police changed their craft to EC-135s which tends to make the BO105 subject a bit old hat.

Essex police have made a flight safety film about the newer aircraft.

The DVD is a 13-minute feature which looks at what an EC-135 can offer (at the time the police craft was being role equipped so it is mainly based on the air ambulance again), dos & don’ts when flying, safe approach & exiting of the aircraft, onboard safety conditions & what to do in an emergency. The film is split into chapters & they have also used 3D animation’s to help show what was difficult to film.

This is based on their information, I have not yet seen the DVD.

Hope that helps.
