All members are invited to a UKMOC private tour of the new Wiltshire Air Ambulance (https://www.wiltshireairambulance.co.uk/incidents/) base in Semington BA14 6JX

Ride in details to be confirmed nearer the time - but all welcome from all regions

Arrive 11.00 ish , Teas/coffees welcome, Site security brief.
Get bikes on Helipad for photo shoot, probably do that first if helicopter is in and operational staff are available.
Tour of facilities
Simulation suite
Helicopter and meet paramedics and pilot.




Suggesting a £5-10 donation per bike but this is at your discretion

It's a pretty impressive set up and worth a visit - they can get to anywhere in Wiltshire in 11 minutes

The airbase will be operational and the helicopter may be out on a task and on its return, the operational team will be getting it ready for its next mission so can't guarantee how much we get to see of the 'chopper' but still worth a visit and as we all know it's a great cause..

It is not looking good for the Air Ambulance, just seen the news and their woes.

Apologies but this has been cancelled

I am now trying to combine with one of their 'Biker Down' courses that they have just started up - hope to get dates up on here soon

Makes more sense then we get the best of both worlds from them

That's a shame, I was looking forward to that. Keep us posted on the alternative.

Char, I missed the original post back in January, weirdly a friend of mine who volunteers for the WAA sent me a link to the Biker Down course in Wiltshire a couple of days ago so Stafford and I are booked on. It’s on Thursday 13th June in the evening - https://www.docbike.org/education/biker-down/ (you have to click on th ‘Book now’ link to see the course in Wiltshire at the Air Ambulance HQ. Hope this helps.
