A moment of drama! The pilot skilfully holds the big helicopter steady as an intrepid crewman winches down to a casualty. Thankfully on this occasion nobody is hurt and the crew are demonstrating winch procedure to the air show spectators. The crews train constantly in all weathers to perfect their skills so when the call does come for real they are ready to respond. Teamwork and communication between all the crew is vital to prevent an accident.
