Tomorrow will mark the 10th Anniversary of the Air Ambulance crash that killed three crew members in Burham, not far from where I live.On the 26th July 1998 the helicopter struck power lines and crashed in a field in Burham killing its crew - pilot Graham Budden and paramedics Tony Richardson and Mark Darby. It was the only fatal accident in the UK involving an Air Ambulance.
The picnic site in Burham where the 'Roc-around-the clock' challenge came to a close last year was dedicated to the 3 crew who lost their lives.
A tribute service is to be held today at Rochester Cathederal to celebrate their lives.
Rest in peace chaps.

A stark reminder that it's not just the patients that the Air Ambulance helps who's lives are in danger. Each and every day members of all the emergency services may have to put their own lives n the line to save others.God bless 'em all.
