A massive thank you to our friends at @LDNairamb @Ldn_Ambulance + @LondonFire for joining us today to encourage more Londoners to give blood. London’s emergency services see first-hand how important blood is when responding to incidents, from car crashes to stabbings.

A brief glimpse of blue sky yesterday during a couple of cloudy and hazy shifts for Helimed27. Thanks to everyone who have come to look at our new helicopters, we really couldn't have bought them without your support ❤️ #hems #London #helimed27 #ec135 #londonsairambulance

Great teamwork yesterday @NATS when we attended a job near the approach to the active runway at Heathrow. A blustery and challenging day but @HeathrowATC allowed us to get into our site with no delay. Huge respect for the voices in my headset, thanks folks. @adamspink @GazRich88

The only other job I’ve ever wanted is to be a Helicopter Pilot…😅🚁 I was lucky enough to learn to fly at school with @aircadets & anytime we got to watch them fly was the dream! To be able to work with @NPASLondon & @LDNairamb regularly is a privilege! #WorldHelicopterDay 🚨
