For those wondering what's it about... UK tv news today (sat 19/4) was showing heli attack firefighting on heath and forest fires currently raging in South Wales and Cornwall.
This included a few words from a certain Keith Thompson (he of Treasure Hunt fame). Personally I'd say his piece gave the impression of heliattack pilots as professional and highly capable. Hopefully will gain some points with the quick judging public.
More heath/forest fires are burning in Scotland although I have not noticed any mention of heliattack involvement in that area. One common thread... most of the fires are being reported as believed to be deliberately set.
HandyAndy...PPrune news..... in front of my telly.
