Looks like the air ambulance charities are in for a welcome windfall.

That's great news, such a worthy cause. Nothing to do with Prince William just having qualified to fly with them I suppose? Imagine if you were treated by them and HRH turned up!

Excellent. I wont feel I have to buy the raffle tickets one of them just sent me.

Well, this is great news BUT.... why on earth are they charities in the first place. Surely something as important as this, particularly in rural areas, should be government funded. OK, I know that taxes are finite and can't be stretched to cover everything but these are a basic part of the emergency services.

That is wonderful news. An invaluable service.

I support my local Sussex Air Ambulance service. An excellent cause.
