Surge in new UK helicopter facilities
What is it with UK hangars, heliports and helipads in the last few weeks? All these are new...
  • St George's Hospital, Tooting - new helipad opens
  • Bristol Royal Infirmary - new helipad opens
  • Great North Air ambulance - new facility at Newcastle
  • NPAS Durham - new hangar at Durham Tees-Valley
  • NPAS Exeter and Devon Air Ambulance - new facility opens at Exeter Airport
  • Glasgow Heliport - moves 2.3km from SECC to Govan
  • others...?

Just wondering whether it's easier in times of restraint to get capital projects approved on the ground, but any sniff of "new helicopter" would have gone down less well. Not that any of these need a new helicopter imminently, but is it a coincidence that so many infrastructure projects are happening?
