🚁 Our 800th patient transfer 🚁 On Wednesday, our crew worked alongside the clinical partner team @CometTransport to safely transfer a patient in just 49 minutes. The same journey by road would have taken nearly 2hr 53mins. Thank you to everyone who has supported our charity over the years. Each mission costs Β£3,600 and we receive no government funding. Your kind donations help keep us flying πŸ’š #childrensairambulance #charity #donate
