  • Vehicles from the Metropolitan Police Roads Policing Unit, escorting a Royal Air Force "Aeromedical Ambulance" and a Emergency Ambulance from South Central Ambulance Service into the Royal Free Hospital in northwest London.
    The patient being escorted is a British Healthcare worker who contracted Ebola while working in Sierra Leone. 4 additional healthcare workers also contracted Ebola, 2 of them are believed to have arrived on the same plane as the one seen being escorted in this video, the other 2 remain in Sierra Leone. The patient in this video is being treated at a special high-level isolation unit at the Royal Free Hospital.

    Some people asked why so many police escorted vehicle. There are two main reasons. One and most obviously, the patient is very ill. Second, the patient is a living biological weapon. Hoping he/she recovered.

    You don't need sirens - just use the loud speaker and shout "Ebola" - I can guarantee that the traffic will move!!
    Update - I am a doctor with extensive aeromedical experience, hence my suggestion as to what to do to enable a smooth ride!!
    I have actually refused to transport an Ebola patient from Kenya to S Africa (where I was based) purely because the logistics of equipping pilots with Hazmat suits were too complex at that time (late 1990s) - in addition, it is almost impossible to safely isolate a patient who is on life support - the ‘isolation’ pods are not geared for things such as artificial ventilation of the patient.

      @@jamesevans938 If it were the SEG, you would know by their white bikes and Glocks on the hip. The SEG or SO14 are used specifically for high risk VIPs and are a very small group of highly trained armed officers. The "rules" are they are *only* used for VIPs that are highly likely to be attacked and only if they are on public business duties, so Boris can't borrow them for a night out or something. So for this escort, since it's not a VIP nor threat of an attack, it is definitely not a job for SEG.
      The bikes that SEG uses have full police equipment too, they have sirens but they opt for whistles to avoid noise pollution of the VIPs, and to attract peoples attention as sirens may be too common.

    When I am in dino daycare on roblox I use the boom box to put on MET sirens and I get kicked or warned for it. I bet they've never seen British police.

      This was Ebola at the time. It was filmed at the same time that the news reported the arrival of an Ebola patient to the UK.

      StormsGalaxy Thank you! Yeah as nice as it is seeing these vehicles it's terrible under these circumstances and hopefully won't see this too often. It's heroic what our aid workers and volunteers are doing out there.

    Guys: That's not an Armed Police BMW. Armed police vehicles have tell-tale Yellow Stickers on the window. This one doesn't. If that's not enough for you, note the driver and front passenger are not wearing any body armour or hats or anything that an armed officer might usually wear.
