  • Summary

  • Former Royal Marine, then RAF Search & Rescue Paramedic, Chris Bradshaw QGM, tells us what its like to be in the MERT (Medical Emergency Rescue Team) on Chinooks in Afghanistan and his life now at the end of the wire. As part of the medical team onboard a Chinook sent in to pick up the wounded, be they Military, Afghans and occasionally the enemy, Chris talks us through what happens when the wounded make it to the tailgate. But, as he says.." The real life saving stuff happens with the person next to you on the ground when the injury occurs, they are the real heroes." An extraordinary journey, and the life on the wire continues. If you want to meet him - just fall off a mountain in the Lake District and he will probably be the the guy flown in to save you.

    His chosen charity is "Turn to Starboard" www.turntostarboard.co.uk

    A charity that helps serving and retired Armed Forces personnel, and their families, re-adjust after operational tours through the power of sailing.
