Lift Off

At around 12 noon today, a tourist on the High Places tour in the Cathedral, fell some 30ft & became trapped in a 'void' in a wall. A specialist Doctor abseiled down to her, and stabilized her. Then came the problem of getting her out. The only way was to call in the RAF SAR Sea King helicopter, and winch her off the Main Tower. The lady has no life threatening injuries, and was flown to a hospital in Bristol, where she's being treated for broken wrists & a suspect pelvis fracture. The whole operation took some three hours.
