This was our only experience of an air ambulance. It left everybody quite stunned when it simply flew away.<br /><br />Thanks again everyone.Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-67250756023939407022013-02-08T12:47:05.638+00:002013-02-08T12:47:05.638+00:00This poem kept me intrigued throughout, Dave.
