A sad day in Sydney today - we woke to the news that Lifesaver Sydney are forced to close the doors and many were handed the redundancy.
The first rescue helicopter in Australia, with some 30+ years of service, gone after their unsuccessful bid on the NSW Ambulance Service helicopter tender awarded to CHC.
I loved my time at Lifesaver, the spirit and the characters. Congratulations on your significant contribution to the NSW community and all Australian EMS and rescue helicopters. A mate found this on You-tube which is a compilation - but it only captures a handful of the many thousands of un-filmed incredible rescues Lifesaver have conducted, and although not featured in the video, it also reflects the amazing job the fund raisers, community groups and administrators did in enabling such a great organisation:

Good luck with your futures guys and girls. Congratulations on your 30+ years of service.
