The UK Air Accident Investigation Branch this morning issued the much-anticipated report into the tragic accident which took place at Derriford Hospital on the 4th of March 2022.
I think first and foremost, I have to extend my sincere condolences to the family of Jean who unfortunately passed away as a result of this accident. And to the crew of Rescue 163 of whom some I know personally; my thoughts are with you at this time. Our emergency services go to work to save lives that’s it, they are all heroes as far as I am concerned. The full report can be downloaded here: https://www.gov.uk/aaib-reports/aircraft-accident-report-aar-2-slash-2023-sikorsky-s-92a-g-mcgy#download-report Below a quick down and dirty breakdown of the report. I will break it down further, but I felt it appropriate to get the basics out to you as soon as practical. Don’t forget NHS England are hosting a webinar on the 9th of November and will be presented by Michael Bellas, National Estates Policy Lead and John Stephens, Director of Estates and Facilities, UH Plymouth.
