Air Ambulance

Ailz won a prize in a lottery run by the Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance- and they invited us to their base in Marden- about 20 minutes down the road- to pick it up.

We talked to some of the people who run the charity and the medical staff from one of the helicopters. They were all very nice to us and kept telling us how kind and generous we were to support them.

Here's the helicopter. It's just been serviced and washed down and is now fanning itself dry with its rotors...

Yes, obviously.

There was a news story recently that the Marden base might have to close down- but the guys said the newshounds had totally got hold of the wrong end of the stick and the truth is they need to move to a larger premises so they can have space to land a larger helicopter and have bigger and better offices.

Oh, good news!

Yes.

But it's startling that the media managed to get it so completely wrong.
