I can see it's in Stafford, but what is the name of that (army I presume) base? (Not been in UK for ages now).

Yep a Wessex - here's one from the angle you dont want to see. My mate being airlifted off Ben Avon with a suspected broken ankle. Note the concern on the faces of Phil's friends.

Strictly speaking it's MOD Stafford (even if it still has a gate gaurdian which used to fly).
