Jean Langan, 87, was blown over by downwash from search and rescue helicopter landing at Derriford hospital in 2022

The death of an 87-year-old woman who was blown over by a search-and-rescue helicopter landing at a hospital was an accident, an inquest jury has found.

Jean Langan, a retired civil servant, was walking with her niece to her car after having a hearing aid fitted at Derriford hospital in Plymouth in March 2022 when a “downwash” caused by the helicopter knocked them to the ground.
