Operational update from our Charity

A Charity spokesperson said: “Our helicopter needs to undergo maintenance after encountering a number of mechanical issues. These are not connected to last year’s annual inspection and each issue is completely unrelated to the other.

“Whilst the helicopter is offline, we will continue to attend incidents in our two critical care cars, which have all the same equipment that we carry on the aircraft. We will also be supported by neighbouring air ambulances, just as we support them.

“January has been another busy month for our crew, with over 90 missions recorded. With the high levels of fog, rainstorms and floods that we have all experienced, our critical care cars have never been more important in serving the people of Wiltshire and Bath.”
