Extra Air Ambulance Planned For Eclipse

The organisation that funds Cornwall's air ambulance is planning to provide a second aircraft during the week of the total eclipse of the sun next year to cope with the expected influx of the county. Between one and two million people are expected to visit Cornwall for the event ...

... the plan was to have one aircraft based at Treliske Hospital, Truro, and another at Cardinham, so that the whole county was covered.

Margaret Worden, chief executive of the First Air Ambulance Service Trust, said she was not predicting that the emergency services would not be able to cope during the time of the eclipse. But two million was a lot of extra people and she was concerned about all the traffic on the roads.
