Remarks: Returning from a policing mission on the local rail network. Apparently the amount of damage prevented on the UK rail network by helicopter surveillance is cost effective !
Taken from the control tower. Thanks to Julia the controller for tower and field access
Remarks: A small and very subtle PDG logo can be seen on the engine compartment. Operated for the Great North Ambulance by PDG. Under the cockpit it carries a dedication to the memory of Dr. Rupert Bennett.
Remarks: This aircraft was in and out all day. Given the markings and high tech surveillance equipment it would be reasonable to assume that it is engaged on railway line and equipment surveys.
