In this programme, Stuart Abel and Sean Archer are two of the paramedics at the Scottish Air Ambulance helicopter base at Inverness Airport. The Highlands have spectacular mountains and coastline but with the beauty comes danger. The team is called out in an emergency to assist an injured walker and airlift him to hospital in Inverness.

At RAF Lossiemouth, station commander Paul Godfrey is also an active Typhoon pilot, and we follow him as he takes part in a fast-jet training exercise with one of his colleagues.

And firefighter Kenny Beaton leads his colleagues at Barra Airport as they launch their rescue boat into the unforgiving Atlantic to test their skills.
