COASTGUARD AW189 WRECKS A BACK GARDEN

A coastguard helicopter did considerable damage to a back garden near a hospital helipad near Portsmouth, the property owner, a retired navy engineer is not happy as this isn't the first time he has had damage caused by downdraft.

Retired Royal Navy engineer and his magistrate wife are 'furious' after Coastguard helicopter taking off from hospital destroys their garden

A retired Royal Navy engineer and his magistrate wife are 'furious' after an emergency services helicopter blew down their garden wall.

Stuart and Cassie Ellins were left distraught after their back garden was 'turned upside-down' by the downdraft of the Coastguard aircraft launching from the nearby helipad.

An investigation has now been launched and other residents on the street - where average house prices are £450,000 - say 'serious questions need to be answered.'

Mr and Mrs Ellins' are fearful for their own safety and feel 'sick' when they think about what might have happened if one of their grandchildren had been in the garden at the time.
