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."

B Local speculation is that Bute will be served entirely by helicopter following the change, which is not something that is completely welcomed on the Island. {Declaration of interest : I have a home on Bute}. There's a big local controversy (which is matched with one in Inverclyde) about where medical services are being provided. Pregnant women from Bute look likely to be sent to Paisley's hospital for maternity services, rather than using services in Inverclyde, which will extend the travel by another 35 miles. -- John Mail sent to the reply address will be binned automatically.

The island communities even more so. Very sad. -- John Mail sent to the reply address will be binned automatically.

Same here in Dunoon :-( The perils of crossposting! Where pray does the EDI catchment area come into this conversation.? What perils are those Joe? 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.

Folk expect to read EDI's district news here not the Abbotsinch. Thank God STV have the sense to realise that both sides of the country are separate areas...roll on STV's promised East Coast news bulletins...why are they introducing this.? BECAUSE BOTH EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON! Why then to you post Glasgow "news" as it suits you here then? I assume it is because unfavourable news is acceptable to you. Don't people in the east use air ambulance services? Oh yes, and if you think the cities of the central belt have nothing in common, you are in a huge disagreement with all of the airline marketing departments and marketing directors I have talked to. How many do you know Joe? Correct follow up restored. -- John Mail sent to the reply address will be binned automatically.

I wonder how many people within these newsgroups have work in both Edinburgh and Glasgow, how many of us all of the Central belt main airports (EDI, GLA and PIK). Joe thinks he knows it all when in fact he knows very little. I remember the time when he tried to tell me that Solar Flares and radiation had nothing to do with aviation at Edinburgh Airport. No matter what was said to him or links posted. Even with aviation industry people he attacks them as well.

As has been the case here within the last few days, if not hours. I cannot believe the arrogance of a man who would consider a posting of his own, on a disparage Glasgow topic would be relevant and allowable in aaue and yet would not allow a posting on a clear airport topic of relevance to many places. It is simply unacceptable. He then goes on to name and blame every regular poster (bar two) and tell us we are to blame! -- John Mail sent to the reply address will be binned automatically.
