Government funding[edit]

The article claims that this is the only government funded air ambulance or "air wing" in the UK but gives no {{WP:RS]] for this information. Also, if you stretch the definition a little, RAF and RNAS sea kings could count as air ambualnces and, as part of the military, they most definitely receive government funding! Also, there is no mention of those search and rescue squadrons in this article, though, I believe, the civilian outfit works very closely with the military (though I do not have a WP:RS for this unless you count the documentary Highland Emergency). That series might also be worth a mention as the SAS is frequently featured. Lastly, the fixed wing aircraft amy be worthy of greater prominence- that's unusual in the UK (in fact, I don't know of another) HJ Mitchell (talk) 01:33, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe the SAR resources are registered as Air Ambulance, I think they're primarily considered Rescue aircraft, but maybe they should be cross linked. Jersey, CI has a fixed wing, and maybe so does Guernsey, but no one else in the UK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.226.67.38 (talk) 13:46, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

SAS definitely does classify its rotary and fixed wing aircraft as air ambulances - see for example this, or this. 10mmsocket (talk) 15:14, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

one source[edit]

Subjects own website is the source of all but one sentence in the article. Gab4gab (talk) 16:55, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Citations / Clarification of Text[edit]

I've made some effort to add new citations and clarify some of the text / add more relevant content. Unfortunately most publicly-accessible references are pretty limited in content, or limited to SAS's official website. I'll continue, but please edit as the community sees fit.

SORT[edit]

I think the SORT section is out of date. But needs some citations. TheMouseMen (talk) 15:08, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Strikes[edit]

Should the 2022 strikes be in here? TMallinson (talk) 01:50, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
