Flying and saving lives across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight since July 2007. Funded solely through donations from individuals, companies, groups and clubs.
We always try our best to be there for the people of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, but messages like this, really affect our teams morale. We are sorry the helicopter wakes people up at night, but it is not our intention to disrupt your evening, but rather save someone's life.
We are genuinely overwhelmed by your kind replies. Sadly this isn't the first time we've had a complaint like this and it probably won't be our last, but it's reassuring to know you are there for us. Thank you for all your support 🚁💚💛
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to message us, donate to us and even offer us a cup of tea if we land nearby. You've cheered us up immensely. For anyone wanting to support us, please visit our website.
