[@DavidStruveDesigns]

Play the theme tune to Airwolf in the background whilst watching this ... and it takes it to a _whole_ nother level of epic!! :D

[@Tnythebasic]

Some nice flying skills there by aircrew, looks like a fairly confined area to land and launch from.

[@BritishPoliceMods]

Amazing video that is a tight spot to land and to take off from. my hat goes off the the pilot WOW...

[@MrSevillista1995]

Great video,hello from Spain!

[@mrsimo7144]

[@mickboakes7023]

Amazing where they can drop those helicopters into. It’s nice to know they’re out there should we ever need them. Fly safely all of you.🇬🇧

[@hughesevents]

Really excellent video, lovely quality too.

[@wesleymccurtain166]

NOTAR!!!!! (No Tail Rotor)

[@richardpearson58]

there is a fan in the rear of the machine instead.

[@taxet48]

@@richardpearson58 Exhaust exit through tail port to prevent rotation

[@raymondrayban]

Well done for the Vid!...Good quality! next time maybe a Cannes film Award!...Keep that camera with you! You never know what you might catch next time!...

I like the lines on the blades

[@ryguy5434]

Such a spectacular sight!

One of these landings - on a damned small space, on top of that between trees near the rotor blades (btw. the 1st time I see the rotor with 5 blades on the newest generation -Eurocopter- McDonnell Douglas in action) - which deserves huge respect for the skills of these pilots.

[@28076130513B]

@@zlmdragon. *McDonnell Douglas* (MD Explorer) - *my* mistake... ☝😬👍 ...thanks for the correction!

[@SharedJoy]

take off 3:43

[@gary63693]

Hey everyone, that helicopter is a virgin, maybe it hasn't met the right helicopter yet. Your thoughts?

[@marshallallensmith]

With a tail configuration like that ? Naw, it's lying.

[@gary63693]

nah with a tail like that. it can have any helicopter it wants

[@marshallallensmith]

gary63693 What if it has a airliner or fighter jet fetish ? Could be lusting after a completely non helicopter mate.

[@marshallallensmith]

gary63693 I know of a UH-1 that fell for a A-10 tank buster and they mated producing a baby AH-64

[@gary63693]

awww that is sooo cute, hope they are happy together

[@russella7263]

Wouldn’t get the AW169 that most Air Ambulances are changing to in there. Seems a retrograde step to go large with the only possible motive being that ex-military pilots who will have had a lot of experience on the AW169 in the forces can walk straight into a job with the Air Ambulance. A case of the old boys network taking priority over operational requirements.

[@kieranl8181]

London air ambulance are getting new Airbus H135

[@johngeorge5684]

Definitely wow

[@truckman041]

Nice. Any ideas why it has. Irgin on the side?

[@kevinbrand5798]

Yes Virgin Was the sponsor of the london air ambulance

[@davidmurphy8480]

Badger emergency responses ... Any idea why you can’t spell ?

[@marks2731]

I did not notice Irgin on it. I see Virgin,

[@ce9934]

Virgin sponsored London’s Air Ambulance until 2012, after sponsorship ended they changed the livery to one that’s a lot better

[@haytie.]

Badger emergency responses it’s the sponsor virgin is a uk tv and broadband company :)

[@Squidgen]

HAW! I'm on the nightshift!

[@davidsalati3257]

Not sure which impresses me more…the tiny spot they parked it in, or the stupidity of the people walking up to it while it was running….

[@Wildlifesupernannyfan]

What make of helicopter?

[@isleden1]

Sorry I don't know the make

[@BIGBLOCK5022006]

McDonnell Douglas Explorer with the NOTAR system. NOTAR means No Tail Rotor which is useful for tight situations where a tail rotor could strike a object and destroy the helicopter. Instead it's a ducted fan.

[@CymruEmergencyResponder]

MD 902 Explorer.

[@dorothypyne]

Yes its red

[@Fishing-and-boats]

Muito legal!

[@jesuschristneverlived6938]

Tail rotor?

[@vwbeetleb0b]

Its called a NOTAR. NO TAil Rotor. Instead it directs a beam of air out the rear cone which rotate . You can see the grass getting hit by it @ 3:39. Its very safe for ground crew. The worst that could happen is you get hit with a lot of air instead of being chopped up by the rotor.

[@CymruEmergencyResponder]

vwbeetleb0b it also means that in London they don’t have to think about tail rotor strikes if landing in small areas

[@southwest3671]

JW93Emergency ......in other words, that pipe sticking out the back has little function?

[@CymruEmergencyResponder]

South West not at all, it has huge bearing on the direction of the aircraft.

[@lightsoutforever]

Facebook.comhy does the pilot stamd at the front of the aircraft for a while?

[@ce9934]

lightsout the co-pilot watches to check everything is in working order

[@57629589]

so they don't transport the patients?

[@TonyTheYouTuba]

They can, but the primary purpose is to get a trauma doctor to the patient as fast as possible, who will usually then be transported by ground vehicle to an appropriate hospital

[@Mike25654]

Very sad that something as important as HEMS needs to be subsidized in the UK.
