Sad news, let's hope the younger man recovers.

I am unfortunately at the NNUH every day at present.. due to my wife needing the acute oncology dept. 

Being at the East End adjacent to the Colney Centre we are next to the helipad.

As regulars for nearly four years we have never seen so many landings as in the last three days. 

What a superb facility we have here.

Furthermore it was Norfolks under water rescue team and equipment that was called to Bedford yesterday. Sadly a tragic outcome as a mother of three young children in her 30s lost her life swimming in the River Great Ouse.
