London’s only Air Ambulance helicopter has been granted permission to be able to land in Weavers Fields. This is a backup landing site as they have a helipad at Royal London Hospital.
The helicopter made it’s first landing today which was quite exciting. Apparently the lift to the helipad was broken.
The helicopter itself is a MD902 Explorer and a gorgeous piece of machinery. When it took off it barely blew the wind into my hair - and probably quite important if they need to land at accidents and emergency sites.
The helicopter itself isn’t government funded and is therefore a charity! You can read all about their flights and even their flight log at their website .
