There we were, just finished a task near Woking and about to set off back to Fairoaks when there was a knock on the window.
A little suprised I turned around and saw that it was just Pc Geoff Craggs hanging off the side of the aircraft at about 1000 ft taking an unusual snap of the surrey police EC135 G-SURY but then that was nothing really out of the ordinary.

He was probably just taking his dog for a walk

So, he opened the rear door without permission...? Put him in the dog house for a week!

Calm down everybody.... I'm sure he was securely fastened to the new winch which they use for those SAS type tasks..:E

I was sorely tempted to post about that but held back, which ain't like me...
Reminds me of that line from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948):
Gold Hat: "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges."

I've always thought that police and air ambo crews have the cleanest cars. :}
Anyway, why weren't you watching the cricket? Thought that was the other popular pastime. :ok:
In a way, it's good you're not busy; means that you've done a good job.

You'd think they'd have had time for a decent shave though... ;)

Ah yes, the classic book reading position, nobody can tell if you've nodded off or not.
Up at sleepy hollow in the north east they put sweets over your eyes and take photo's if you fall asleep in the tv room ;)
I see Surrey supply matching coloured marigold gloves down there when you wash the blue cars as well :E

I thought Surrey had moved the helicopter to Odiham after it got vandalised at Fairoaks?
