Launch pad

While making frequent visits to Southampton General Hospital, I have been  on the lookout for an emergency helicopter actually landing on the hospital's own helipad.
And today I was rewarded as an air ambulance flew in.  My good fortune of course has to be at the expense of someone’s misfortune.
In the past my sight of the helipad in use has been to catch glimpses of stationary  helicopters on the pad.  Because the pad is built onto the top deck of the hospital’s multi storey car park, you cannot miss them when one is present.
I have been on the lower deck of the car park when helicopters have taken off;  I have been visiting in hospital wards when I have heard the sound of the machine arriving or leaving, but until today had not actually seen one at the moment of arrival and departure.
I don’t for one moment regard this as akin to so-called ambulance chasing, rather simply the prospect of seeing the helicopter land or take off again, sweeping in or rising above the hospital.
 
I am told that some drivers don’t like parking beneath the structure which supports the helipad. For me, that’s never been a problem, and that reticence does often man that you can find a space when the park is full.
