The West Mercia Police helicopter is back in Shropshire skies after being grounded for 10 weeks of 'heavy maintenance'.
The helicopter spent 10 weeks at an Airbus helicopter maintenance centre in Oxford but was passed fit to fly this week.
The National Police Air Service, which flies the helicopters on behalf of individual forces, confirmed the return of the high-flying crime fighter in Shropshire skies. The NPAS tweeted:"After over ten weeks of heavy maintenance with Airbus our aircraft is back where it belongs. It's good to have you home."
Police helicopters are a vital crime-fighting weapon, helping officers on the ground with pursuits, drug raids and missing person searches.
