Air ambulance calls for rescue stories

The air ambulance service which covers Shropshire today appealed for anyone helped by the flying doctor service to come forward and tell their tale. The air ambulance service which covers Shropshire today appealed for anyone helped by the flying doctor service to come forward and tell their tale. Midlands Air Ambulance, which also serves Staffordshire, the West Midlands, Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire, was originally founded as Air 5 in 1991 and operated a single helicopter from temporary facilities at East Midlands Airport. The charity has since grown into one of the UK's largest and busiest air am-bulance organisations, operating three helicopters and responding to more than 3,000 emergency calls each year. Jason Levy, head of fundraising at Midlands Air Ambulance, said: "A lot has changed since we formed in 1991. It is only in more recent years that people have come forward and wanted to share their airlift experiences so we would really love to hear from anyone who was involved in an airlift during the charity's early years and help us to tell the whole story of Midlands Air Ambulance from their point of view."
