My wife and I were sitting at Bridgewood a couple of nights ago around about 9-30pm, listening to the radio and chatting when a really loud roar made us look around expecting a plane crash or similar and we saw a jolly yellow chopper arise from behind the woods. We were able to see it fly away in the direction of the hospital and saw it gradually lose height all within 5 minutes of first seeing it. I was really quick and except for the fact it was so unecessarily expensive I would say it was a job well done. Of course it was excellent work by the crew of the helicopter but if IBC were not so obsessed with gates and fences around Bridgewood an ambulance could have driven down to the river and picked up the chap who had injured himself falling off his bicycle on the forshore.
