No dramas Ian, just good to know that they are starting to get back through the system. As for the stormshadow.... A little while ago we were banned from painting our planes at war, incase someone finds it offensive. You couldn't make it up.....
A few from another war a little while back.

Thanks 
Yes. There are hundreds of examples of national and local stories that have been helped by your money.
I know that we have given large amounts (£5000 +) to the East of England air ambulance, Make a Wish Foundation, Help For Heros etc etc an even more smaller donations. £6000 per request is the largest we give out at the moment.
We were approached last year by a group of Paramedics who wanted to train to a higher level and equip a vehicle so that they could deliver the same care as the air ambulance but by road and in all weather. We agreed to a donation of £6000 to kick start the new scheme (Critical Care Rapid response car)
Shortly after our donation the whole amount was spent on advanced life support equipment which was of a much higher standard/level than is fitted to a normal response car or ambulance.
The car and equipment complete with a critical care trained advanced paramedic (call sign 222) is now operating saving lives.
One such incident shortly after our donation involved a car loosing control and hitting a large group of small school children out on a school field trip.
222 was called and put the new equipment/training straight to use. Even though a large group of children were seriously injured no children lost their lives due to the fact that they got critical care just in time.

i was a bit undecided about attending with the high(ish) costs - but after hearing that the money is actually getting used and to very good effect I'll make sure I sign up for the re-scheduled event.Yes.
