We are excited to announce that our second helicopter has now arrived in the UK, ready for the next phase – the medical fit-out.

The aircraft was flown safely home today by Captain Paul Nolan and Senior First Officer Mark Howard-Smith, marking a major milestone for our mission.

Over the coming months, the aircraft will undergo its specialist medical fit-out, transforming it from a state-of-the-art helicopter into a state-of-the-art intensive care unit, ready to serve patients across Dorset and Somerset.

See the moment it arrived below.
