Coastguard helicopter spotted flying patient over River Mersey before Wirral landing

A coastguard helicopter was spotted flying over the River Mersey before landing in Wallasey on Sunday (April 10) afternoon.

The helicopter flew up and down the River Mersey and then landed in an industrial site near Seacombe Ferry Terminal before 3pm. A spokesperson for Liverpool Coastguard told the ECHO the helicopter was conducting a medical transfer from the Isle of Man to a hyperbaric unit on the Wirral. Officers from Merseyside Police were in attendance to clear the coastal path.

The helicopter was then seen taking off and heading towards Speke before flying down the Mersey once more in the direction of New Brighton.
