And while I'm at it...published today;

Eye-in-the-sky

"The fact the aircraft can re-role from being a police-based air support unit to provide medical support tand being used as an air ambulance within minutes is very significant."

The police helicopter crew was recently praised for their "brilliant work" after saving a young woman from the brink of drowning in a dramatic river rescue.

The woman had become stranded in thick mud and was neck-deep in the River Nene near Wisbech when she was dragged to safety just minutes before she would have been swallowed up by rising tidal waters.

Pictures released by Cambridgeshire police showed the moment she was spotted by the force chopper's thermal imaging camera."
