A helicopter made an unplanned landing in Richmond Park earlier today after encountering adverse weather conditions. Officers from the Royal Parks Police were notified of the unusual sight and responded promptly to ensure the area remained safe for both park visitors and the helicopter crew.
The pilot, who landed the helicopter as a precaution, is now awaiting improved weather before taking off again. In a lighthearted update, Royal Parks Police tweeted, “You can’t park that there mate,” acknowledging the unexpected visitor to one of London’s beloved green spaces.
Authorities remain at the scene, and the helicopter will remain grounded until conditions allow for a safe departure.
