G-LBAL was a visitor at Blackpool Airport last spring
Helicopters don’t come much bigger than the AW139. This imposing aircraft is capable of carrying 15 passengers

Apparently it was really thick fog when it took off, and came down only a couple of hundred yards away.

There was a comment from a local pilot on the late Look East news, by the name of Brian. Anyone on here ?
