'm sure that Great Ormond Street Hospital called ASCOT Ops who then sorted out the Herc. This is what happened with the Tristar into Paris.
Which makes you wonder why we bother with a co-ordinated UK transplant set up. Bit of a waste of £15 million a year if every hospital that feels like it just phones up the military for a favour.
IF there was no civil lift that could possibly have got a team of surgeons to BFS and back in that time frame THEN there might be a justification for using the RAF otherwise its a dubious use of resources.
And as for the cost of taking a Tristar to Paris.....
