Req: SAMU 62 Arras

[Michiel62]

Hello,
The SAMU 62 is usually based at the (SDIS62) ZAL de Chemins Croises, FR-62223 Saint Laurent Blangy. During 2 recent visits no helicopter was found. Of course helicopter can be on a mission, but it might be relocated to the CHU in Arras (in town) as there have been some reconstruction going on for a while.

Is there anyone who can confirm the current location of this NHV operated helicopter.

thx
Michiel

The helicopter is marked wih "C.H. Arras" so I think your last guess can be right.

At Google maps I can't find a helispot near this hospital ....

Dit deck zou ergens aan de zijkant van het ziekenhuis moeten liggen.
En ik dacht dat ze inderdaad vanaf dat heli deck vlogen. Zeker weten doe ik het niet.

Ik denk dat Google maps nog niet actueel is.

Thx Copter / PH-ULP,
Looks like they are indeed back to the hospital. Google is not updated, but if you look at Google street view at Boulevard George Besnier you clearly see a building which looks similar as the hangar (like Lille) with a platform. Altough no heli is present, it looks like the new location.

the MD900 is based at Arras Hospital, they have a platform and hangar at the hospital at 50.296866° 2.759617° (GE has not been updated and the hospital lay out has changed a lot). We drove by it yesterday and OO-NHF was present, ready to take-off. Interestingly, this helicopter (msn 900-00015) was once used by the US Coast Guard for drug interception trials.
