I was on my MERT standby day when this happened, so dispensed sweet tea and biccies to the crew and two very shaken Discovery Channel reporters whilst Chomper was having his head stitched up in the emergency department. "Severely wounded" - not exactly. However, it was still an awesome bit of flying and my money's on a DFC.
Regardless of what gong he gets, Ian "Chomper" Fortune won the far more life-enhancing "luckiest man in Helmand" prize for the week.
