Louise and I and our team were on duty at a very busy Thursday Car Boot when the baby daughter of one of the sellers became very unwell. The baby mother was exceptionally concerned so we agreed to call for an ambulance. Air Ambulance contacted to ask if we would clear a field area for their landing right in the middle of the Car Boot Sale.

Within minutes the helicopter had landed to collect the very sick child then taking off in no time with the very sick baby and a very upset Mumsie which for all of us watching was upsetting not knowing the fate of the baby, many of the crowd had a tear in their eyes and hope in their hearts as this life saving helicopter supported by public subscriptions lifted up to the skies heading for Treliske Hospital to save a baby’s life.

And then you get some selfish bastard who wants to cash in on people’s donations given to (they assumed) Cornwall’s Air Ambulance for their wonderful services to the public at large, that is you and me!

You personally will never know if or how or when in your own lives you may or could or will come face to face with the reality of Air Ambulance and be affected by the wonderful life saving Air Ambulance Emergency teams, do you?

The little girl was fine in the end, her and her mum called in to say thank you to you and to us and of course a very big thank you to Air Ambulance!
