Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance, SCAA is nearing its 500 mission since it was started nearly two years ago. It's actually 487 but who is counting?
To celebrate SCAA organised all the local emergency services together for a photo-call and the Royal Navy sent a Sea King from HMS Gannet, Prestwick.
So, bear with me there's military content in every piccie it's just that you will have to look for it!
These images form a portfolio, it's not that often that I get this close to a Sea King and it's certainly not all that often that I get so close to a Sea King with rotors running!
