More than 1,200 people attended a 10th birthday party for the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance (DSAA) on Saturday, June 12.
The event was held at the DSAA airbase in Henstridge, between Sherborne and Shaftesbury, in Dorset, to celebrate 10 years since the Air Ambulance was launched.
In that time, the yellow livery helicopter has been scrambled to more than 7,300 emergencies and many lives have been saved by the speed at which casualties have reached hospital.
The event was organised as a way for the Charity to give something back to the people of Somerset and Dorset who have supported it over the past 10 years, and to help them learn more about the life-saving work of the Air Ambulance. (more…)
