Well done David. FYI - next time (!) try and get the casualty in the same
frame as the bus  - that would have been the pic the paper would have
wanted. I know it's easy to say that, but shuffle right to the front, go
vertical, casualty and team at the bottom of frame, the front of the bus
at the top. A couple of shots rattled off before you're asked to step
back and bingo. Under the circumstances, you did well.




Cheers,
  Cotty
