First Patient Transfer | The Air Ambulance Service | TAAS. From the oracle, so to speak (and to be treated with caution)
So - bsbhe38 - assuming that you are close to the operation, a couple of questions from me (I'd guess you would call me a 'detractor', but happy to swallow my words):
- what's the reg of the new aircraft? I assume that TAAS have commissioned a stand-alone aircraft for this service (otherwise the cloud of suspicion may remain that TCAA is really a front to raise money country-wide to support/subvent the existing aircraft)
- It was a flight from Coventry to Scarborough, collecting a team in Sheffield on the way. Once at Scarborough, it flew the mission - a 15 min flight to Hull. Then presumably back to Coventry. What part of that service was deemed impossible for a more local air ambulance to cover?
Is Yorkshire still down an aircraft or two? Is this connected to the scrambling of the TCAA 'aircraft'?
