Hey, if the locals are prepared to charity fund an little air ambulance, even if it were based right next door to the 'public funded' SAR 'king in the 'little chef' at Watt, what's the beef?
Air Ambo funding for an average county= 50p/yr per adult, approx.
Just remember to put yr pennies in your local ambo pot and not the money grubbing, jump on the gravy train, heart-string pulling ('it's for babies') "national air ambulance" 'collecting' pot!
