An air ambulance was forced to make an 'unexpected landing' at an estate in Bristol due to bad weather.
The Great Western Air Ambulance Charity (GWAAC) helicopter was, fortunately, able to land at Ashton Court Estate on Tuesday afternoon (February 8) after adverse weather meant it had to cut its journey short.
It was returning to its base at the Bristol Royal Infirmary when it had to make the unexpected diversion.

On Twitter, the GWAAC put out a statement: "On returning to base from Bristol Royal Infirmary bad weather meant our pilot, Jim had to make an unscheduled landing.
"Many thanks to the nice people at Ashton Court for providing us the perfect spot."
Great Western Air Ambulance Charity serves more than two million people of Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, Gloucestershire, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset.
The lime green helicopter is a Eurocopter 135 and can seat up to five people – a Pilot, a Specialist Paramedic in Critical Care, a Critical Care Doctor, and a patient, if transporting them to the hospital.
