  • Hey Atom! I here a Canadian company has won the contract!! and that they want Police Air Support and Air Ambulance to be based at Boulmer also? What else do you know gadge??

  • Lads and Lassies,everyone always say's the reds are the elite of the RAF,I think this video proves otherwise.

    This video should be used as a recruitment video,to show what that RAF has other uses other than what you see at airshows and on the news.

  • Hello everyone,

    I don't know if this is true, and I hope it isnt, but isn't there a rumour that SAR is going private? by 2012? or some time around that?

    ""131 retuning to Boulmer and closing down"

  • I've been told by someone at work to come on here to look at some rescue videos. I do believe I am in the door after 46 secs. Amazing what you find on the internet-some of the 'chatter' is me too. All I need to do now is work out who took the film ;-)

  • A-Ha! 131. Some of the footage was shot at "Rumbling Kern" just north of Boulmer(1:16) and the house in the background was featured on "Distance shores" which starred Peter Davidson.I live local to these yellow birds and love to see them.Nice to hear some intercom chatter mixed in the video too :)

    Tip:Slow the sutter speed and rotors will look better!

    Can we have some more please?
