context_page_description: The Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust is a charity that provides a dedicated helicopter emergency service for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. The helicopter flies about 1,100 missions per year and, as of December 2018, had flown over 28,000 missions.
  When introduced on 1 April 1987, Cornwall's air ambulance was the first dedicated helicopter emergency medical service operational in the United Kingdom. The helicopter primarily provides HEMS through the delivery of a critical care team for the county. It enables a fast response to the most critically ill or injured and can facilitate access to isolated locations, such as beaches, cliff-tops and moorland areas, which are inaccessible by road.
context_section_description: The first helicopter was a MBB Bo 105D (registration G-AZTI) which was replaced by a slightly larger Bo 105 (registration G-CDBS) which was used until 2001, when it was replaced with the more advanced Eurocopter EC135T (G-KRNW).
