UK Coast Guard S92s unable to use some hospital helipads
This may be a non-story but today's Times (unable to post link due to pay firewall) reports that there is growing concern that the new S92 is unable to use some elevated hospital helipads that were fine for the Sea King. The DfT have apparently denied "that it had blundered" by buying helicopters that cannot land on these helipads. Apparently the issue was first raised by Royal Victoria Hospital in Newcastle. A Bristow spokesperson says they "are facing many legacy issues" since privatisation! I wonder what they are?
