Sorry what is funny about this aside from the crappy impersonation? If it was a call to the palace and they managed to get through to her for a random chat then that could be seen as funny. But as it stands a woman has taken her life, another has had personal information of her condition broadcast across the world. An on top of that people find that funny? Ask yourself s if it was your medical information been shared with the whole world how would you feel. Is it a case for the police to look into? Yes there has been a breach of security and there has been a death. Plus on a lighter note a crime against humour

sounds complicated ?

Well i can think of a few friends and colleges who can vouch for the medics training. 10 or even 5 years ago the the injuries they sustained would have killed without a question. Thanks to good realistic (all be it unpalatable to some) training men and women both military and civilian are alive today. Tell them that this practice is outdated. People forget that military medicine filters down to the civilian market for example the ArbAid Kit. most of that kit would be found in any combat medics bergen. It had to be tested somehow. Also practicing trauma on a dummy that squirts fake blood just does not cut it. fake flesh reacts differently. A dummy does not smell, feel or react like a real body and people act very differently when confronted with real warm pumping blood. I can only wish i had, had that kind of training when I deployed. instead of having to wait for the first body. Yes its not ideal but it does work sorry to rant and sound uncaring but this is real life. Sorry rant over everyone enjoy your evening FAB

It's a shame they can't replace the pigs with paedophiles, and save on expensive anaesthetic. If you were the medic would you really try and save them? I think standards of marksmanship would go up though

I think the statistics speak for themselves. 90% survival rate in Helmand. (i think thats right of the top of my head). Most of those doing this training are not the surgeons but the frontline medics based outside Bastion. So the MERT teams, combat medics embedded with ground troops etc Like some have already said all military surgeons practice (for want of a better word) in the NHS. Seem to remember the chap who was against it that they interviewed said that the Israelis didn't do it so why are we?

Had meindls also combine them with the Berghaus yetti gaiters for really wet muddy days and you are bomb proof

good point

I have had 2 pairs for the army, felt like wearing carpet slippers

Altberg make good boots, and they can even tailor them to you if you are prepared to go to the factory

how much are the zermat's?

sounds like a great idea. would definitely be up for that.

Impressive. i love the idea of an electric saw

I want this one http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/06/08/article-2001008-0C78F92200000578-591_634x425.jpg

you can get compressed air cans think they are about £4/£5 not sure what they are like

any idea when they are released in uk?

I would avoid planting. but like someone has already said, ask the pilot he should know otherwise he probably shouldn't be flying. But there are plenty of small HLS's in central london, Battersea heliport been one and that is right under the tower blocks been used by all day by civvi pilots like i said i think the area is a minimum of 30x30 but maybe bigger

well you really know what size the copter is but in the certain hot sandy places we would have to clear an are 15x10 an absolute minimum i have worked near the battersea heliport and that is right by the tower blocks but i would have thought an area of about 30x30 would be ok, just be careful though as i think most civvi pilots would be worried about approaches

If only I was more experienced hmmm

Surely more reason not to, as you have to set an example, you cant expect people to do as there told if they see there bosses doing the opposite. As for staying in employment or the industry I would suggest its done on a case by case. I know of people in other lines of work who got caught and there service record was taken into account. And if they were thought to be genuinely a hard good worker then they were given time of to get themselves sorted out, ie get help not have a jolly.

It amazes me that there isn't more testing. In fact I don't think I have ever heard of testing by any UK employer in this industry. Surely with the cost of insurance and the highly dangerous nature of this work it would be a sensible thing, both from an employers and employees point of view. Maybe this is something that the AA should be looking at when it comes to accreditation? harsh I know but in these times with H&S red tape and rising cost of insurance can we really afford to ignore it? sorry if this is not the place to say.

Good call, no excuse for it, this job is dangerous enough without been drunk or stoned.

used the MX220 and it's good, built well feels like it wont fall apart and chips really. Not had much experience with Timber wolfs so cant really comment. I suppose like any piece of kit it depends how they are looked after, but with the Schisling you feel it can take more punishment, between servicing.

Rich did a fantastic job, been trying a friends one now and again and loved it but couldnt seem to get the hang of it, now bought one and determined to try more of the techniques rich was demoing, made it look so easy and made sense cant wait to try it out, just need to source a stiff tether though hmmm
