Caravan Guard\u00a0Associate Director, Laura Wilby, said the staff were delighted to have funded the helmets to help the aircrew in their efforts to fly longer and become night-capable.<\/p>\n
The charity recently bought two state-of-the-art night capable helicopters (Airbus H145\u2019s) and has used sponsorship and donated monies to buy the night vision goggles they need, so they can save more lives by being able to fly in the skies for more hours.![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.caravanguard.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_2232-smaller-400x267.jpg\")
