Air ambulance cleared to fly again





The service was temporarily grounded on Friday during tests on this particular model of helicopter.
The EC135 helicopter, which is manufactured by Eurocopter, is the same model which recently crashed in Glasgow, killing 10 people.
Chief executive of the Thames Valley and Chiltern Air Ambulance, Mark McGeown, said: "We fully believe that the safety of patients and air ambulance staff is the number one priority.
"Obviously we are pleased to be able to resume normal operations.
"I would like to thank our colleagues in the South Central Ambulance Service and the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance for helping us maintain our emergency cover during these last few days.”
