Hi 'mr prudent' 
Superb job well done.
Time was of the essence. The trapped driver was up to his chest in water and couldn't open the door because of the strong current. The driver's window was partly open but couldn't be opened further becaue the electrics had failed. There was a danger the car might have been swept away. The paramedic got him out and he was airlifted to safety.
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, but what if it had all gone wrong?
Well, it didn't! AND a life was saved which might have been lost.
Congratulations to pilot Pete Barnes and paramedic Kevin Hodgson for taking the initiative.
Helicopters get more than enough negative publicity. On this occasion, most of the nationals ran the story, all praising the crew, and the Mail and Sun published agency photographs of the rescue.
Good to see some positive
PR for a change.
