A retired Royal Navy engineer and his magistrate wife are 'furious' after an emergency services helicopter blew down their garden wall. Stuart and Cassie Ellins were left distraught after their back garden was 'turned upside-down' by the downdraft of the Coastguard aircraft launching from the nearby helipad. It comes after they were left with £5,000 worth of damage when the same helicopter landed at the Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth, Hampshire, in 2017. 'HM Coastguard have been made aware that some damage was caused to a property, close to Queen Alexandra Hospital, as the helicopter arrived and landed, and we are looking into this incident.' The AgustaWestland AW189 helicopter is a twin-engined helicopter with a top speed of 194 miles per hour and a range of more than 500 miles.
