See your heli as you never have before as we take you deeper behind the scenes at #Cornwall #AirAmbulance. Every year, your #AW169 #helicopter must undergo an intensive period of maintenance with our helicopter operations partner - Castle Air Ltd.
This in-depth process involves stripping the aircraft, inspecting it for damage and rebuilding it again so it’s ready to fly on more lifesaving missions around Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Engineer Ellie takes us through the maintenance process and explains why this is such a big and vital job.

Responding to more than 1,000 missions each year, our team is on hand during crucial moments where every second counts. With no direct government funding for operational expenses, we depend on the kindness of individuals like you to ensure your helicopter is in the air every single day of the year.
By supporting our #HELi2 Appeal (cornwallairambulancetrust.org...) you'll be supporting our efforts to bring a second lifesaving SW169 helicopter to Cornwall and the Isle of Scilly. While your current heli is undergoing essential annual maintenance at Castle Air, a second helicopter will boost our resilience and ability to provide the best critical care service.
