A Coastguard helicopter was a helicopter used by the Coastguard.
Nobby worked as a helicopter pilot with the Coastguard. He used his helicopter to rescue Rhys Williams, Gwen Cooper and Keith, Naomi and Jasmine Samuels from the attic of a house on Lloyd George Avenue in Cardiff during the All-Night Zombie Horror Show. Nobby then used the helicopter to rescue Jack Harkness and Ianto Jones from the roof of the Torchwood SUV.
The helicopter had a bright light which shone down at the earth below. It had a bright red nose and tail, and a white body. The underside was painted with white and orange stripes. The words "COASTGUARD RESCUE" were printed in bold black capitals on the fuselage side of the aircraft. (PROSE: Bay of the Dead)
