The Pilot and the paramed can have a pint with me anytime at all, its people like that who are the sort who will rescue a civvie without thought for themselve, their skill and training just takes over, if these two were in a War situation that would count as bravery beyond the call of normall duty,
Normal duty being where you indeed have the tin hat, the flak jacket and ropes, and a marshall on the ground, the hot flask and the tin of butty's.
Sadley the reporter suggested the pilot was fighting his machine to get where he was, I dont think so really, he seems totally at ease and in full control!
"Seize the moment, for it may not last" seems to fit the bill.
