    Talk about a tight parking spot! Our amazing pilots really can park almost anywhere, allowing us to bring the skills of an emergency department to your doorstep!

    Rare shots of @manairport that we took waiting to cross the centre line on a priority alpha call to get to a patient on the far side of Manchester. This is an incredibly rare view of the airport. You don’t get to go into their air space easily!

    Last Friday, a crew member’s flight helmet was stolen. The crew had landed in the Manchester area and got out of the helicopter to make their way to a patient when a group of youths on bikes road past and took the helmet.
