"I've never seen an RAF aeroplane land on a civilian runway.
Quote from BBC news article,RAF Hercules transports sick baby.

More proof that our NHS Service and UK armed forces are brilliant.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
On the thread title I don't believe I have see one land on a civilian runway either. Have done a number of touch and goes and landed at Prestwich a few time but not seen one land

"
A Jaguar GR Mk1, piloted by BAC Test Pilot Tim Ferguson, used the M55 for a demonstration take-off and landing, just before the motorway opened in the Summer of 1975."
Useless trivial fact - when the US Interstate system was built in the 60's, 1 mile in every few was built dead straight to allow it to be used as an emergency landing ground for US Air Defence assets in the event of war.

There is currently a Sea King helicopter on the village green at Marske on Sea, nr Redcar. It's been there almost a week as engineers try to repair it.
Belongs to 202 Squadron Search & Rescue from RAF Boulmer. The locals keep the engineers supplied with chip butties and tea.

Does Shiny Ten Sqn count? Four landings a week into Washington Dulles when I was on the Sqn in the 1980's.

To those knocking this, I hope you or yours never need this kind of help in an emergency situation.
This is another example of the excellent work that the AT/SAR crews and supporting staff do day in day out both at home and abroad. Well done to all involved.
I am fairly sure that had an alternative been available it would have been used. As BEagle suggests it probably fits in as a useful training flight.
As to the cost, who cares, the most important thing is that a life was saved. Let the bean counters fight it out at their leisure.
