Back in 1988/89ish the Cornwall air ambulance landed in my village, Blisland on Bodmin moor. I was a scruffy moor kid who was amazed at the bright shiny helicopter i had heard so much about at school.
I was even more amazed that the pilot actually took the time to talk to me,
and give me the enormous responsibility of keeping everyone one behind the gate after the patient was loaded and the helicopter was ready to take off, my first work as ground crew.
If that was you Griff thank you very much as you planted a seed in my head which due to financial limitations and a few other issues, it remained a very small seed for a long time.
A few years ago this changed and I am now working as a commercial helicopter pilot,
flying around the beautiful island of Mallorca.
So again if it was you thank you for being that nice helicopter pilot who took a few moments for that scruffy moor boy!
Cheers
