All-Blacks, there is a press liaison officer at RAF St Mawgan who can give you statistics as to how often the UK SAR force fly critically ill patients into London Hospitals to get the expert care without which they would not survive.

The Daily Mirror should run a scare story by sitting under the Heathrow approach path and counting the number of aircraft landing there in a day - will they campaign to shut Heathrow? course not. The story was a space filler on a slow news day written by a hack (probably in a pub somewhere) under pressure from his editor - I am surprised that anyone has taken it seriously. Now if they could just get someone from Corrie to crash an R22 into the Eastenders set, then we might have a story
