ROYAL DEVON & EXETER HOSPITAL: Private helipad

Note: All these pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Location: At the NE end of the site, in Wonford, S of the B3183 and ESE of Exeter city centre
Period of operation: Since the 1990s (?) to -
Landing area: Originally grass until 2006/7. Then hard surface.
NOTES: As the third picture clearly shows, the original 'H' marking on the helipad was very quickly removed and replaced by another just a few metres further south. I wonder what the reason was? Possibly an unexpected 'gust' problem affecting an entrance due to helicopter downwash? It does happen.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
