Members of From Lions recently visited the airbase to donate a cheque for £2,000 to our crew members.
Unfortunately the aircraft was in Frome attending a mission, so many of the members were unfortunate not to deliver their donation in person.
The helicopter returned with only two members of the Lions remaining, which allowed us to give a short guided tour. Unfortunately however, the crew were quickly called to another life-saving mission. (more…)

The success of a Dorset brewery’s traditional ale has brought a £14,647 boost for the county’s Air Ambulance over the past two years.
Palmers Brewery, Bridport, has been putting aside 5p from the sale of every pint of its Palmers 200 ale for the life-saving charity.
Palmers 200 was brewed for the first time in March 1994 to celebrate 200 years of the firm’s brewing in Bridport. This popular premium ale has been winning plaudits ever since. Beer guru Roger Protz says: “It’s a finely balanced blend of malt, hops and quenching citric fruitiness.” (more…)
