Local primary pupils were fascinated by the helicopter and delighted at their close-up view.

Recently, an emergency situation arose when a local resident needed urgent medical care from the North East Air Ambulance and we were pleased to assist by providing a safe landing space for the helicopter.

This allowed the emergency doctor and paramedic on board to quickly join the road ambulance, which was waiting with the patient in our car park.

Before taking off again to return to base in Eaglescliffe, local primary school pupils attending our after school Photography and Media Clubs were able to speak to the helicopter pilot and learn about the essential life-saving service that the Air Ambulance provides. They were then able to watch the helicopter take off.
