WILTSHIRE Air Ambulance aircrew got sweaty in their flight suits and even full PPE on a virtual bike ride to raise more than £7,000 for lifesaving equipment. Pilots and paramedics from the charity had planned on cycling 654 miles over the space of a week - the equivalent of pedalling to 10 local hospitals twice. In the end, they managed 1,191 miles. Critical care paramedic and ground base manager Richard Miller says: “It’s been a great challenge for everyone in the aircrew to be part of and we’re absolutely delighted with the final outcome. Not only did we smash the target we set for the number of miles we wanted to cycle, the funds raised has also exceeded all expectations and we can’t thank everyone who has donated enough.

AIRCREW for Wiltshire Air Ambulance have successfully completed their virtual cycling challenge to raise funds for vital lifesaving equipment. Pilots and paramedics from the charity planned on cycling 654 miles virtually during a seven-day period, the equivalent of pedalling to ten local hospitals twice. In the end, they cycled almost double that figure, a total of 1,191 miles, by the end of Valentine’s Day – all for the charity they love. The Love Your Air Ambulance Challenge helped to raise more than £7,200 to fund the purchase of a MEQU M Warmer unit and accessories. The equipment can be used in emergencies to ensure injured patients receive the blood products carried by the crew at the required temperature quickly.

The Dead are Screaming, Werewolves’ first album (released last year), was completed, from start to finish, in something like three weeks, with most of that time involving the wait for artwork, negotiating a deal with Prosthetic, and other behind-the-scenes odds and ends. The actual writing took guitarist Matt Wilcock (The Antichrist Imperium, The Berzerker, ex-Akercocke) and drummer Dave Haley (Psycroptic, Ruins, The Amenta) a weekend with bassist/vocalist Sam Bean (The Senseless, The Antichrist Imperium, The Berzerker) taking his sweet old time and delaying the record a week or so while he finished his parts.
