PR for Lyneham.....?
From the Wiltshire Gazette and Herald:
Mercy flight crew help save life
by Zoe Mills
A HERCULES from RAF Lyneham took part in an eight-hour mission to transport a heart for an emergency transplant on Thursday.
Flight operations at the airbase received a late-night crisis call from London's Great Ormond Street Hospital, which needed assistance to transport four surgeons plus equipment to Belfast.
The team had to prepare and collect a heart to take back to London for the operation.
A Hercules C130J standby crew was called out and ready to leave within 40 minutes.
The heart was picked up from Belfast and thanks to the co-ordination and hard work of air traffic control in London, the Hercules was given a straight route into Heathrow to deliver the heart.
Flight Lieutenant Paul Flusk, co-pilot for the journey, said: "It feels good to do a job that can help to save someone's life.
"The mission was completed in under eight hours and ran very smoothly which was all down to the work of the captain, Flight Lieutenant Mark Raymond, and the rest of the team in operations and air traffic control."
