In the cockpit.

You have control.

>>Shepherd111, you are leaving my airspace, Tune Ted's Tower on 134 decimal 5, resume own navigation<<

>>Teds Tower on 134 decimal 5, bye bye, Shepherd111<<

>>Ted's Tower this is Shepherd111, with you at altitude 1000ft, heading 090, three miles East of St Mawgan<<

Hey, there it is, just over to the left a little.

I see it, tell control.



>>Ted's Tower, Shepherd111, We have the LZ in sight<<

>>Shepherd111, Cleared to land, caution trees and telegraph lines<<

>>Clear Land, roger Shepherd111<<




OK it looks tight but fairly strightforward, I'll approach upwind over the brown field and then swing it round to fit in the garden, both of you keep an eye out for anyone coming out of the house please.

The pictures should be visible on both pages now, someone did an oopsy and forgot to change the visibility of the album. All I will say is that it wasn't me. Maybe if he spent less time sticking things into Heather he would have more time to get it right.

We hope so too Mr Dollman, the girls will do their best.

[Dongo]

This is all gripping stuff.....in fact Krystal can grip me any time!!

[Fay]

It sounds exciting. We don't get anything like this going on round our way.

Love & hugs,
Fay

[revoL annaerB]

Gawd, I hope things work out well for them, nothing worse than a teddybabe in distress

If anyone can, the DDF can....go girls

[Amber Jane]

In the cockpit

OK Mandy our patient is on board and I've checked externally, we're clear, lets go.

Right I'll do the preflight, give Suki a call and ask if we're clear for Treliske at Truro yet.



>>Ted's Tower this is Shepherd111, 1 casualty on board, ready for departure, are we cleared into Treliske yet?<<

>>Shepherd111 Clear take off, Treliske are unable to take the casualty, make your way to Derriford at Plymouth, we'll sort out arrangements while you're en-route<<

>>Clear take off, Derriford, roger, Shepherd111<<



So, Plymouth it is then, how's our patient Coral?

She's not in a good way, this little Teddy Babe needs to get to a hospital as quickly as possible.

Roger that, here we go.

[Amber Jane]

In the Cockpit

OK Amber we're about 5 minutes away from Plymouth call the Tower and confirm we're clear to land and that they're ready for the patient.



>>Ted's Tower this is Shepherd111, 2000 ft, heading 040, 7 miles South West of Plymouth, do we have clearance from Derriford yet?<<

>>Shepherd111, Derriford are also full, divert now to the Royal Devon and Exeter, standby for further instructions<<

>>Royal Devon and Exeter, standingby, Shepherd111<<




Right Amber sort us out a course and ETA for Exeter.

[Mandy]

In the Cockpit

>>Ted's Tower this is Shepherd111, we're ten minutes out of Exeter, are they ready for us.<<

>>Shepherd111 standby, we're on the landline to them at the moment<<

>>Roger, Shepherd111<<

>>Shepherd111 the Devon and Exeter can't take your patient either, we'll get onto Bath or Bristol, climb to and maintain altitude 3000ft, turn right to heading 010, report when steady.<<

>>Climb to and maintain altitude 3000 ft, heading 010, roger, Shepherd111<<

******** ******** ******** Unintelligible comments from within the cockpit

[Mitsuki]

Ted's Tower control room.

>>Shepherd111 this is Ted's Tower, we have a problem, both Bath and Bristol are full too, they cannot accept a Teddy Babe at this time. Say your endurance, we will have to find an option up-country.<<

>>We have about another 1 and a half hours fuel at current course and altitude, we'll need to refuel before being able to return now, Shepherd111<<

>>Shepherd111 Maintain your current Course and Altitude we'll sort out refueling for you, Standby<<

>>Roger, Shepherd111<<



Krystal can you get on the phone to all the midlands hospitals while I call Amanda at Shobdon and see if they can provide refueling facilities for the girls?

OK I'll start calling round the ones we haven't tried yet.
