    Auckland Rescue Helicopter Kawasaki BK117 is standing by for another rescue mission at Ardmore Airport in November 2019.

    In New Zealand the ambulance helicopters need sponsoring to raise money for their operations.

    The BK117 was developed by MBB (Bölkow) of Germany and Kawasaki of Japan in the seventies. This model is the basis for the Eurocopter EC-145 and its succesor the Airbus H145.
