Interesting programme I must say. Well, I enjoyed it anyway.
I'm sure one of the pilots on there (fella with a tash) was also flying SY99 in Sky Cops...

Although I thought he was trying to look like Richard from Richard and Judy!
Good programme otherwise and yes, Ian can be seen also flying SY99 sometimes.

manfromuncle,
Richard Hammond by profession is a Presenter, so don't be surprised to see him presenting things.
He's also raised £193,180 for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance!
What's your contribution to society?

No matter how annoying TV shows can be, any form of promotion/awareness for a cause such as an air ambulance should be celebrated.
Good on Richard Hammond for being so greatful to the guys who helped him, that's alot of useful money he has raised.

Air ambulance - interesting.
Richard "Hamster" Hammond - even better!
Why aren't more programmes hosted by presenters who are gentlemen, entertaining and modest! And easy on the eye!
Cheers

Yes, it IS a very worthy cause, and well done for him for supporting them.

Well Bertie, it's like this you see ..... If I had a choice of three hours of fun with RH or three hours of fun with your 902, then ..... ah yes! I see your point

The RH fella's got a real work ethic, too - the Beeb folk embedded at YAA for many weeks said he was excellent to work with. Took the trouble to learn his lines, rarely took more than 1 shot and was generally pleasant to be around. It would appear that the same couldn't be said for his agent but I suppose that's what they get their 10% (or whatever) for. Right, that's enough infinitives split.

I have to agree, anything or anyone that can raise awareness, bring attention to the cause and raise funds is, in my opinion, a great thing.
Good on RH and the Beeb I say.

Access - how are you going to get to the patient and how are you going to get them on the helicopter?
If there is easy access from the pub car park, its always going to win over the fight to get over the barbed wire fence.

I'm sure if you are strapped to a spinal board you would prefer a 20 yard carry to a 120 yard carry with an obstacle crossing.
Why do people criticise pilots when the only information they have to base their opinion on is highly edited footage?
Let's leave it to the professionals on scene who have all the information.
I'm glad they do all of those re-caps as I had forgotten about the old lady in the car from 2 minutes ago.
Where was I? Oh yes..............I'm sure if you are strapped to a spinal board ..........
