MD902 Explorer has replaced the AS365 Dauphin.
The Dauphin flew over 5,000 hours and some 37,500 take offs and landings. It will spend a sunny retirement in the Caribbean as VIP and tourist transport.
The £4.2 million twin engined Explorer will be based at The Royal London Hospital's rooftop helipad. Sponsored by Sir Richard Branson, Virgin HEMS will be used to transport and treat severely injured patients on around 1,000 missions a year.
