IT appears even helicopters need to queue for fuel sometimes as this photo shows.

Gazette reader Mike Mackey sent in his snap of the Herts Air Ambulance which landed at Asda in Tiptree on Thursday afternoon.

The chopper had been called after a woman in her 50s collapsed in the store, in Church Road. Fortunately she only needed treatment from a paramedic on scene.

Mike took the pictures as the helicopter landed in the store car-park - and appeared to be waiting for the next available petrol pump.
