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.
