Meet the Team

Posted by
CElliottUK (Reading, United Kingdom) on 17 July 2013 in People & Portrait.

Once the "Driver" - had had CPR, the team could start to clear up, and take off some of their heavy clothes, they were all very hot!
The Crew are Red Watch 20 (Whitley Wood), with Crew Manager Holford.
The Gentleman on the right is Michael Pound who is both a technician, and a person who picks up cars for training purposes, and was the person who was kind enough to arrange this for me.
I would like to thank them all for an illuminating view of something that I never hope to see for real, but, if I'm every involved in a crash-I'm gonna ask for these guys-they are all stars.

Odd how the shortest bloke looks the fittest, and also has the best fitting pants :-)
Been a good series Chris and this is a good group shot considering the sun isn't helping that much.
