Just been on Flight Radar 24. At approx. 05:50 this morning, the helicopter took off from Caernarfon in North Wales went to a point in the Irish Sea, picked up someone and proceeded to Blackpool. It landed in Blackpool at around 07:10 and took off again 20 minutes later. If you type in 'coastguard helicopter bases' this will take you to a site that will let you know where their helicopter bases and control centres are based. Thanks for the vlog.

Very good. I just watched you in another video showing the American reporter around Blackpool and you was good in that with your knowledge of Blackpool. You friend the one pound burger was very funny. Well done.
Hi Stephen, I don't know if you have seen the following from the Blackpool Gazette. HM Coastguard helicopter lands in Blackpool after emergency incident on Morecambe Bay gas platform. The search and rescue helicopter touched down in Lawson’s Field, in the grounds off the Village Hotel, East Park Drive around 7am. HM Coastguard said it flew a man to shore after he fell ill on a gas installation off Morecambe Bay in the Irish Sea, 16 miles west of Blackpool. The crew were met by paramedics who transferred the man to Blackpool Victoria Hospital.
