@EE hello - my phone signal has been great for years and then all of a sudden I rarely get any at home and when I’m out and about. I’ve checked the signal tracker but unless anything’s changed I can’t work out why my signal is now so bad?
Great news! @jcartlidgemp launches the final stage of the UK’s #NMH#NewMediumHelicopter competition at #IMH24.
If selected we’ll build the #H175M at #Broughton, reinvigorate the country’s underperforming helicopter industry and export the 🚁 to the 🌍.
UK’s New Medium Helicopter will be a vital development for the UK armed forces. We’re proud partners in the #H175M offer and look forward to training the future crews who fly and operate the H175M if it’s selected for #NMH.
