Yesterday, the crew welcomed the local @newzealandpolice Search and Rescue team to the base for winch simulation training.

The winch is a vital piece of equipment that allows both the Rescue Helicopter crew and partner agencies to reach people in the toughest and most remote locations.

Thanks to the training simulator, these critical skills can be practiced without needing to fly the helicopter, saving time, cost, and resources.

The crew are incredibly grateful for these opportunities to train together and ensure everyone is ready when the call comes.

Earlier this month the Trust team visited the Greymouth base. Thanks to everyone who came along for the evening.

We were thrilled to be able to announce that the first of the new H145 helicopters from Rega Swiss Air-Rescue will be coming to the coast within the year. This will be a substantial step up in service for the region.
