AN air ambulance on a 999 call had to take emergency action to avoid a Spitfire.

The chopper’s co-pilot steered to the right while the Spitfire did an apparent barrel roll and came even closer, the report said.

An anti-collision warning system on the helicopter sounded and the pilot took control and did “a steep turn to the left”.

Radar records showed the two aircraft which were both flying at 1,100ft missed each other by just 400 yards on June 5 around seven miles east of Sevenoaks, Kent.

The air ambulance carried on to help an accident victim in Herne Bay.

The Airprox Board concluded the safety of both aircraft “had been compromised to the extent that a definite risk of collision had existed”.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
