| Beautiful Minds: Stephen Wiltshire |
 |
Stephen Wiltshire from London is a star among
savants. Stephen is autistic. He did not
speak his first words "pencil" and "paper"
until he was 5. Yet, when he was 11 he drew a
perfect aerial view of London after only one
helicopter ride. For this film we're testing
the "Living camera" in Rome. (ColourField
production)

| Stephen Wiltshire draws Tokyo from memory |

(www.stephenwiltshire.co.uk)
One of Stephen's extraordinary abilities is
to memorize landscapes up to the highest
detail. During this flight he had a thorough
look at the view of the Japanese capital from
the helicopter including thousands of
buildings, towers, high-ways, cars, buses,
even down to intricate details of trees and
windows. Following the 30 minutes ride
Stephen seemed to be very excited and ready
for the challenge.

| Wiltshire Police Helicopter |
 |
The Wiltshire police air support unit G-WPAS
is a McDonnell Douglas MD-902 Explorer, which
has no tail rotor, instead it has a rotatable
vent which expels hot air from the engines.
Shown here lifting off from the helipad at
Salisbury District Hospital, the pilot then
does a nice "handbrake turn" followed by
flying backwards before departing. Show-off!
Edit: I now know it's a standard take off,
and he's not showing off, he's being nice and
safe. I don't have time to keep up with
everybody telling me this, so I've closed the
comments off.
