Heli crash in Welshpool?
Heard on the radio a few days back there was a heli crash in welshpool (North Wales UK) but have not seen or heard anything further.
I know an air ambulance operates out of there ( a bolkow) but also imagine it could have been a robbie trainer. Anyone heard any more detail? I understand pilot was ok.
