Last Saturday Midlands Air Ambulance held its 20th anniversary ball at the Worcester Warriors’ Sixways Stadium, with one of their Eurocopter EC135s on hand to anchor the event. About 250 guests, including people who have been airlifted, attended.  The service, which operates three EC135s from bases at Cosford, Strensham and Tatenhill, needs to raise £6m per year to remain operational and does not receive government or lottery funding.  The service operates across Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, the West Midlands and Worcestershire and responds to more than 3,000 calls each year.
