Ambulance boys not on here moaning, they are obviously better than police pilots as they don't need to go to The Scilly Isles to recce landing sites, just to bring the thread back on course
I thought they were there to re-survey the sites, sites like the air ambulance bases and hospital LS's that require re-surveying at least every year. Just like the air ambulances, believe it or not, police ac ad hoc landings also take place in the same way ..... Think about it, after the air ambulances and their crews are tucked up for the night, who do you think the ambulance control centres can contact for a casevac? (not moaners...indeed!)

Perhaps that's the reason we carry stretchers and calculate the loading figures for a stretcher cas. & medic before each duty, day & night, 24/7. And to maintain 'on thread', that won't change with NPAS
