High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yorkshire Air Ambulance is a charity based in Yorkshire, England. Launched in 2000, it provides an air ambulance service across the Yorkshire and the Humber region. Its original aircraft is based at Leeds Bradford Airport and has landing pads at various major hospitals around the region including Leeds General Infirmary and James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough. In October 2007 a second helicopter based at Sheffield City Airport entered service. The airport closed at the end of April 2008 but a heliport facility still exists for the use of the Air Ambulance and the South Yorkshire Police helicopter. In September 2006 the original helicopter was involved in transporting the Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond following his high-speed accident at the former-RAF Elvington airfield near York. Following this operation a high profile charity appeal was launched, by 16 October contributions to the appeal have so far amounted to 185,770, although one donation of 50,000 has been "declined".
