High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! There are a number of air ambulance services in the United Kingdom using either helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft. Thirty helicopters, all operated by charitable organizations, cover England and Wales. Two helicopters and fixed wing aircraft are operated by the Scottish Ambulance Service, whose air wing is the only publicly funded air ambulance in the UK. Funds are currently being sought to enable a similar service to be operated in Northern Ireland. On 26 July 1998, the three man crew of the Kent Air Ambulance died when the aircraft collided with power lines and crashed in a field in Burham, near Rochester airport. Initial investigation established no definitive cause for the crash, due to the fireball produced on impact. Controversy ensued when the pilot's employers, Police Aviation Services, denied liability. On 19 February 2004, following a civil case brought by the pilot's widow to the High Court in Manchester, it ruled that the crash was caused by mechanical failure, not as suggested flying low for fun, and ordered compensation to be paid.
