There is a BBC News Story out there that states TCAA [The Children's Air Ambulance] has been launched using an AW109 of the TAAS.

Some may recall that there was a promise/statement of intent to launch TCAA in December.

Well it looks like it has gone a month early but.... If the story is correct they have launched early with 'only' £500,000 collected but not as an independent service. Half a Mil is not a sustainable amount, so its badge engineering that will/may allow TAAS to claim the TCAA now has a machine. That will/may improve collection figures and allow them to meet the 'December' intention at a new deadline of February next year.
