Farmer Russel Abbott was out in his field one day when the air ambulance descended from above and showcased the life-saving work the charity does.
The East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA) flew to a Bentley field on April 27 when a man in his fifties suffered a cardiac arrest. Thirty-six-year-old Mr Abbott saw the aircraft land in his field.
The man was then flown to the Royal Papworth Hospital in Cambridge for further care. It really hit home to me that could be my dad, Mr Abbott said. It s just everybody s lifeline.
