To mark the occasion, the Strensham airbase in the UK hosted organisations including County Air Ambulance Trust HELP Appeal, Roadchef, A&H Construction and Midlands Air Ambulance Charity's operating partner, Babcock.

From single-engine turboprops covering remote terrain to twin-engine helicopters serving densely populated regions, mission profile and operational environment underpin procurement choices.

The charity’s crews have provided hospital-level care directly at the scene of emergencies and supported patients in urgent need across six counties.
