Caravan roof lifted by air ambulance helicopter taking off on Arran
The roof of a static caravan was lifted and insulation blown out as a patient was being airlifted.
The incident happened as the air ambulance helicopter with two crew on board was lifting off from a sports field in Whiting Bay in the south of the island.
The UK Department for Transport’s air accidents investigation branch (AAIB) warned today: “The accident demonstrates the potential for downwash to cause damage during helicopter operations.”
