The Guyana Defence Force’s second Bell 206 touched down at Camp Ayanganna at around 5 pm yesterday afternoon.

This helicopter, like the one already here, would be equipped with stretchers to conduct medical evacuations and additional equipment installed include a Skytrax tracking system, a terrain alert global positioning system, a night sun which allows for the illumination of a large area at night, a loud hailer and siren system and a forward looking infrared system, allowing for information acquisition.

The army is however still to decide on the future use of its Bell 412 which took to the skies late last month after being grounded for over a year.

    Where is Mr micro-manager Jagdeo?

    Why are there no press releases from this regime on the efficient work the 2 Bellgates are providing to stem the rising crime spree in Guyana?

    I guess there is none forthcoming!!!!

    Are the choppers being acquired for decorative purposes? The 1st arrived how many weeks ago and does not appear to have done anything other than sit pretty. Is this how we use investment?
