For those of us that work offshore, knowing that a helicopter with help is always available. Is a very reassuring feeling. Having that available onshore to persons not in our business, but in urgent need. Should not be dependant on donations. But until that changes I’m happy to support this worthy cause. 

The Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS) operates three helicopters, 365 days a year, across the North-East, North Yorkshire and Cumbria. GNAAS crews respond to around 1,000 call outs each year and on board our aircraft are specialist trauma doctors and paramedics, who bring accident and emergency expertise to the scene.Whether its in a city centre or a remote mountain, our medics respond to wherever they are needed in the shortest space of time. The helicopters are never more than a 15-minute flight from the nearest hospital.
