Never going to get those five minutes back!
Just a lot of people aimlessly milling about!
Goes in for the kiss at 3:50 and then it cuts away pretty quickly, should we be worried about consent?

So you’ve turned up at an airport after a crash that has probably killed or maimed your loved ones and instead of proper officials and police liaison staff you get a Jim’ll Fix It style badge from Derek and Anne before various other busybodies fart around.

I’m surprised organisations like Airports and emergency services give these sort of people the time of day.

Surely this is what the Red Cross and Salvation Army do well, without the need for Hi-Viz and two decade old Discoveries?

I wonder if they do? I'd expect that if there was a major incident the police would block all the roads and only allow blue light vehicles past.

Is the exercise just Walts being Walty?

I read the full crash report for BA36 and that included the immediate response and there was no mention of anyone other than emergency and airport services. One of the local hospitals had started receiving casualties before they were informed of an aircraft down.

Trust me they wouldn't be allowed anywhere near the incident ground!

The videos mysteriously stop 6 years ago. I was wondering what ELE (extinction level event) occurred, but it seems they’re still actively preparing

Love this bit.

The local ‘high’ risks are:

Severe weather including effusive Volcanic eruption overseas"

It's a second-hand drugs dog apparently.

He lives in Kent, I can't really work out what he's supposed to be doing in Cullompton

The dog is supposed to remind him to take his meds.

Reflective yellow and flat blue is technically legal, although right at the edge of the Walt-regs...

No matter what time of day.
No matter what type of weather.
No matter how weak the lemon squash.
A proper Walt is always ready to deploy wherever they are needed.

Yes, but Cullompton? hehe

To be fair, we might have hit on a 'Walt secret'.

Cullompton Town Hall still has a tin sign on it denoting it as a A.R.P. First Aid point. (To the left of the central drainpipe)

And not to worry if your loved one has a non-english name, Wong, Pong, Hong or even Chong, Derek is a cunning linguist will be there to tell you that they are 'accounted for' (see previous video).

However what this actually means is anyone's guess, accounted for as in alive and well or found still strapped into their economy class seat minus a head.

Probably hiding up a side road waiting to get some snorkel action.
