Former para gets 'life changing' bionic arm

A former para from Colchester who lost his arm while serving in Afghanistan has become the first veteran to get a 3D printed limb on the NHS.

Darren Fuller says it has changed his life, giving him the chance to do things with his wife and 4 year old daughter that haven't been possible since he was injured by a mortar bomb.
