Got briefly caught up in this today, right outside ASDA Killinbeck:

Very impressive landing.

seriously good flying to put a heli down in that space without spiking the rotor blades on some of the street furniture or another

The taxi will have been coming from the Sutton estate opposite Asda, and the police car as usual will have been going too fast down the bus lane (probably without siren as usual).

I have seen several near misses with police vehicle on emergency calls at that junction.

Pacemaker, very good guess:

Also, fresh pics on the first link. Looks like the plod copter turned up too. I can just imagine the radio chatter:

Air ambulance: Guess where i managed to land?!
Plod copter: Easy, i can do that too!

Mr MC’s Uncle is one of the pilots, just sent him a message to find out if it was him and if so how hard it really was 😉 Cool pics though.
