Kent Air Ambulance Memorial, Bluebell Hill.

Kent Air Ambulance Memorial - Bluebell Hill. Kent’s air ambulance is a registered charity established in 1989. The trust was founded by Kate Chivers. The £ that it costs to run each year is funded entirely by voluntary donations and fund-raising. The trust suffered a tragedy in July 1998 when the air ambulance (at the time a Eurocopter AS355 Twin Squirrel, registration G-MASK) crashed in good weather after colliding with power cables near Burham whilst returning to Rochester Airport following an aborted call to attend a road accident. All three crew - the pilot, Graham Budden, and two paramedics, Tony Richardson and Mark Darby - were killed on impact.
