Seventy missions were flown during August, making this the busiest month over this six-month period. Since our formation, we have now flown more than 11,000 missions. Every mission we fly is the result of somebody suffering a potentially life-threatening injury or accident and it is not a number we celebrate. During the period July-December 2015 we flew a total of 313 missions, of which 147 took place in Dorset and 146 in Somerset. The outstanding number took place on the border of our neighbouring counties. 207 There were 207 supporter-led events held in aid of the Charity between June and December 2015.
