Folk's,

I hope this has not been covered,but while reading the local rag today i noticed an article on the front page covering an RTC on the A9 in the Highlands and how the air ambulance (02A) Dalcross could not attend,but 137 could out of a similar area attend,is there a difference between RAF and civi in this predicament?.

A pilot i am not,so whats the score here,how does the ash affect airspace so close....or is it down to NOTAMS etc?.

SYH.
