The aircraft was approaching the hospital last Thursday night when a crewman pointed out there were junior medical staff cooking food on the barbecue just yards from the landing spot.
Ok...... but

The potential hazard was staff having a barbecue outside their *accommodation, which is about 50 yards from the landing pad.
For real? 40 or 50 yards away and the crew diverted? Maybe there's more to it than the hospital press release, but I'd have been in there snaffling a snag or three for the trip home
