Air ambulances are unable to land at Addenbrooke s Hospital in Cambridge after its helipad was destroyed by a US military aircraft during a training exercise.
Emergency medical crews must now fly critically ill patients to Cambridge City Airport, three miles away, before they can be transferred by land to Addenbrooke s.
Footage posted yesterday on You Tube shows the landing pad being ripped up by the draught from a departing US Air Force (USAF) CV22 Osprey.
The Osprey, which is based at RAF Mildenhall, was taking part in a USAF training exercise.
