Good News on Filton Police Helicopter
In 2010, I spoke to the Home Secretary to oppose plans to move the Filton police helicopter to Wiltshire (you can read the story here). After the announced closure of Filton Airfield last year, one of my first priorities was to ensure that the police helicopter was still able to operate out of Filton. I have been speaking with BAe to this end for several months, and I am delighted that they have delivered on their promise to allow the helicopter to continue operating from within the current airfield boundary. I hope that this will now pave the way for the continuation of police helicopter operations out of Filton for the foreseeable future.
