SD8789 : Helicopter and houses

near to Hawes, North Yorkshire, Great Britain

Helicopter and houses
Helicopter and houses
One of two MD 800 Explorer helicopters operated by Yorkshire Air Ambulance, an independent charity which receives no government funding. (It costs £7,200 each day to keep both helicopters maintained and in the air, which adds up to £2.6m per year.) Hawes is an isolated town and road ambulances can take a significant time to reach it, so in emergency this helicopter (based at Leeds-Bradford Airport)is called in to help get urgent cases to hospital.
