Shetland and Orkney islanders fear lives will be put at risk when two fixed wing and two helicopters based on the mainland take over air ambulance cover for the whole of Scotland. A fixed wing air ambulance on Shetland (left), responding to a call out. This is the current practice in the Northern Isles but from April next year the locally-based service will be scrapped and replaced by fewer but faster mainland based aircraft."

The perils of ending up in your non existent killfile? I would have thought air ambulance services were, by the nature of them, wide ranging. They do NOT always go to and from a specific airport, and it is possible that some of them would arrive at EDI. You need to get a clue about life and posting, but I have said that before.
