New coastguard helicopter is smaller and quieter

The Coastguard says a new, quieter helicopter should mean less Douglas residents are woken up during night-time rescue missions.

A medical transfer over the weekend used an AgustaWestland chopper.

The emergency service describes it as smaller, and more agile than the Wales-based Sikorsky aircraft which previously carried out most transfers.

It adds the AgustaWestland also makes less noise, making it less disruptive for those on the ground.
