Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) marked its 10th anniversary yesterday, reflecting on a decade of life-saving service to communities in every corner of Scotland.
Since May 22, 2013, the charity has responded to nearly 5000 call-outs, raised over £50 million and flown nearly half a million miles, saving thousands of lives and impacting on thousands more, particularly in remote and rural areas.
In 10 years, the charity has grown from a one aircraft service at Perth to a two-helicopter fleet based at Perth and Aberdeen, with two Rapid Response Vehicles responding to nearby emergencies.
