The Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance is an organisation providing emergency medical services through the provision of a helicopter air ambulance covering the three counties of Kent, Surrey and Sussex in the South East of England, United Kingdom. The helicopter is funded by the Kent Air Ambulance Trust which is a registered charity, raising money from public and private donations in excess of £3.4m every year between Kent, Sussex and Surrey. ==Formation and history== The service, an expansion of the existing Kent Air Ambulance service, went into operation in 2007,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Who we are )〕 covering the two counties of Sussex and Surrey.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.airambulanceassociation.co.uk/find_your_air_ambulance.php )〕 The trust currently operates two MD-902 "NOTAR" helicopters, G-KSSH and G-KAAT, that can fly at nearly 150 miles per hour, making the outer reaches of both counties accessible in minutes.〔 This aircraft was previously operated as G-WMID by the West Midlands Police. Initially the service operated from Dunsfold Aerodrome, Surrey, which became operational in December 2007, but the aircraft was relocated to Redhill Aerodrome at the start of 2013 to enable it to provide a night flight service covering Kent in addition to its own region. On the 30th October 2015 it was announced that the trust would invest £10m in relocating its flying base near Paddock Wood.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kent, Surrey and Sussex air ambulances to fly from new base )〕 The service supplements the existing air ambulance service provided Sussex Police Air Operations Unit, the helicopter run jointly by Sussex Police and South East Coast Ambulance Service. The operation also has a rapid response car for the crew to use in the event that the helicopter is grounded for any reason. This vehicle was donated in May 2009 by Sussex Police, having formerly been one of their traffic patrol vehicles. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kent,Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
