The kids were disappointed to hear that the helicopter wasn’t a new addition to the playground.

Great view over the Isle of Wight yesterday when responding to a rural incident.

🩸We're proud to support #WorldBloodDonorDay 🌍 In 2023, Air Ambulance charities provided vital care to over 900 patients who received blood transfusions. 🚁 Hear from Mark Durell from Hants & IOW Air Amb about how you can donate blood: my.blood.co.uk

Today is #WorldBloodDonorDay, but why is it so important that we take the time to donate blood and how does your Air Ambulance use blood? Listen to our Specialist Paramedic Lead for Blood, Mark Durell, to find out how donating blood can help us save even more lives. 🩸🚁

Some hazards cannot be seen from the air!

A busy couple of days across the county including the Isle of Wight and New Forest.

Had a new question tonight from a bunch of interested kids that I haven’t had before… “how do dead legs work”?

We had a really busy day yesterday, responding to 5 jobs across the county and Island. Transported 2 patients by air to hospital. It’s not often that I fill a page on my knee board. Thankfully midday was free for lunch.

A wet start to the shift today. It’s supposed to be summer!

This is me trying to negotiate with a bull. It’s a good reminder to avoid landing in fields with livestock.

MISSION REPORT: Last week we responded to 52 emergencies across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. This included: 25 incidents by air. 🚁 27 incidents by road. 🚗 It's your support that keeps us flying and saving lives. Thank you for helping us to be #ThereForYou. 💚💛

Morning everyone, happy Friday.

This low pressure 958 is what is colloquially known as a “zebra’s arsehole”.

Sometimes it’s only after you land that you realise what looked OK from 500 feet is actually a bit of a jungle.

Morning everyone, a beautiful, cold start to the day.

A beautiful but cold night tonight with the added challenge of snow on the ground.
