Babies born on air ambulance appeal from National Museum of Flight
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-33133431 Version 0 of 1. Scotland's National Museum of Flight in East Lothian is appealing for mothers who gave birth on board air ambulances to share their stories. As part of its £3.6m project at East Fortune the museum wants to feature human stories linked to aircraft. The museum has a Britten-Norman Islander, which was used by Loganair from 1967-2006 for an air ambulance for the Hebrides, Shetland and Orkney. The project is due to be completed next year. Mary Ferguson, community engagement officer at National Museums Scotland said: "An important element of the redevelopment at the National Museum of Flight is the opportunity to tell the human stories behind some of the aircraft on display. "The Britten-Norman Islander air ambulance offered a vital service for island communities in Scotland and we're interested to learn more about the experiences of expectant mothers who travelled on these small aircraft." |
