Midlands Air ambulance is one of the 21 air ambulance charities in the UK. Funded solely on donations in many different forms. It brings hospital standard critical care paramedics and doctors to the scene of an accident/injury within minuets. Also giving the option to airlift the patient to hospital and get there in record time. Henry visits Strensham airbase one of the three the charity has and interviews two charity reps Dianne and Nichole as well as a critical care Paramedic Will.

Henry is an ex patient of the service who ended up saving his life on the day of his accident so promoting the charity on the podcast and what they do is very important to us.

Nigel Bradford is a great example of passions. Joining the Navy at a young age and getting stuck into all aspects it had to offer Nigel gives us a great incite of what and why he has pursued the passions and careers he has. Not only serving in the Navy and having many stories to tell from it (including a story about a now ex royal) he then later went on to re train as a comercial Pilot. Flying thousands upon miles and obtaining the best knowledge there is to have. But most importantly enjoying it! After having an amazing career which he goes more into depth in the episode, Nigel follows more aspirations of becoming a writer/journalist and editor for many different organisations including the famous MOG magazine. A man with so much to tell and life stories to pass on so is a real honour to have on DOTFP.
