October 30, 2013 10:59
Midlands Air Ambulance has bought its first helicopter, giving it the ability to fly at night for the first time.
Bosses at the charity have bought the new £4.5m EC135T2e helicopter, which will be based at RAF Cosford.
It will be fully equipped for night flying and will replace three EC135 helicopters that are currently leased to the charity.
Because of its new capabilities, the charity is exploring the viability of flying at night and plans to launch a public appeal in the new year to help raise the extra funds necessary.
