NOTES

This air ambulance entered service at the start of September 2016. It will be joined by a second H145, G-YOAA, before the end of 2016. The H145s replace two aging MD902 Explorers. The Explorers had seen unprecedented exposure in numerous series of BBC's Helicopter Heroes. The first series of the programme was presented by Richard Hammond as his way of saying thank you to YAA for saving his life when he crashed while filming for Top Gear. The new H145 is night-capable, enabling longer flying hours and not leaving medics grounded as soon as the sun sets. It is also fitted with a winch and FLIR camera to see heat rather than light.

NOTES

A recreation of an ambulance train. Long trains like this were used to evacuate sick and injured soldiers to safety UK during World War I in 1914-18. Inside were bunk beds, nurses and a small pharmacy. These huge hospitals on wheels were built at an incredible speed by the railway companies across Britain before entering service in France as well as the UK. The trains were tightly packed with patients scarred by wounds as well as memories. The men were cared for by staff who worked long hours under intense pressure. Typically there would be 47 orderlies, 3 medical officer, 3 nurses and 3 chefs looking after an incredible 500 casualties. The philosophy was to carrying as many casualties as possible as it was better to transport many people in some discomfort than to leave people at the battle front casualty clearing stations. Triple bunks were used to maximise the space. If there were a number of seated patients, then they would occupy the lower bunks and this could push the number of patients being carried up to 650. A small pharmacy on board would attempt to provide basic comfort to the patients on board. There was a lot of interest around the ambulance trains when they were designed and introduced. A number of public events were organised to give people the opportunity to take a look for themselves at this new approach to repatriating injured servicemen. The nurses mess provided an area where the small number of nurses could have a short break from dealing with the traumatic scenes on board. Train companies were able to quickly build these train at the outbreak of war in 1914 because the Government had given them advance notice. Secret drawings were passed to the managers of Britain's railways in 1912. With so much work to do in Britain, many railway workers were denied permission to join the army. Those who stayed behind wore badges to show they were involved in war work and avoid being branded as cowards.

NOTES

Cheverolet GMC This was the very first Chevrolet that Northumbria bought in 1993. There were six in the batch and this model served from new at Wallsend. It has a 6.2 litre diesel engine and was an unusual sight on the roads of the UK. The personalised registration plate caused quite a lot of controversy in the local press regarding the waste of money on buying the plate. It was initially intended that the service retain the plates, but they did not! The ex-ambulance is seen here photographed in 2015 when it was a non-runner in need of a full refurbishment.
