NORTH Yorkshire's latest lifesaver came down to earth in York.
Local people got their first chance to see the new air ambulance when it landed in Museum Gardens. The helicopter will be managed by the West Yorkshire Metropolitan Ambulance Service (WYMAS) and based at Leeds-Bradford Airport.
But the director of strategic development for WYMAS, Paul Ferguson, stressed it was a Yorkshire-wide service, which would be equally available for the Tees, East and North Yorkshire Ambulance Service (TENYAS).
It would cover North Yorkshire's more remote areas as well as main centres like York and Harrogate. A charity board is helping to fund the service. Anyone who can help, through donations or practical help, can contact the charity on 08451-206060.
