CSRT train with new Police Helicopter
| 
| 
Arrangements had been made for the aircraft to RV with the team at Truro Airfield, where they were given a thorough brief on the capabilities of the helicopter, and the key differences between this and the previous aircraft. Following this, the team were instructed in the correct procedures for loading a casualty on board, with many team members taking the place of the casualty.
The team would like to thank Devon and Cornwall Police, and the aircrew for this valuable training and look forward to continuing working with the aircraft.
