AW139 - The New Bird
The AW139 came into service with HM Coastguard in April 2008. They Have 2 AW139's based in the south. One based at Lee-On-Solent G-CGIJ and the other Based at Portland in Dorset G-CGWB. They also have a spare G-SARD
My helicopter Photo's are mainly with G-CGWB which is based at portland and on the odd occasion they used G-SARD - Only because it is closer to me and the one that is regularly seen over the Southwest.
