A warm and busy Bank Holiday weekend at CLDA. ✈️

Whilst our resident HM Coastguard helicopter Rescue 897 was covering operations in Wales, we welcomed Prestwick-based Rescue 199 to site after transporting a patient from the Lake District. The patient was safely transferred to a road ambulance before the helicopter refuelled with Jet A1 and departed back to base in Prestwick.
