Noticed an Air Med Caravan cargo plane at MAN today, and with a little research, I've found that they've been at MAN quite a lot in the last few months and the aircraft is rarely on the ground more than an hour.

Anyone know what they are bringing in or taking out (commodity and payload) and who handles them at MAN for their quick turnarounds?

Thanks in advance.

I believe Air Med specialise in air ambulance flights & also the transport of organs for transplant. As for the latter, as these are time citical, it would explain the quick turn arounds. If they've brought in an organ for transplant & then position out (normally back to their base at Oxford) so no need for them to hang around at MAN.

I'd be suprised if they were using a "larger" cargo plane regularly such as a Caravan over something like a Seneca. And the Caravan is VFR only I believe.
