Wiltshire's Air Ambulance is due to fly again, after it was grounded when the firm that operated its helicopter went bust.

The charity has announced it will resume flights thanks to a new deal with Specialist Aviation Services, based in Gloucestershire.

The company is providing a MD 902 helicopter to fly between 8am - 6pm, seven days a week.

Heli Charter which previously operated the Air Ambulance's helicopter held the charity's Air Operator Certificate which allowed the service to fly.

When the firm went into voluntary liquidation, Wiltshire Air Ambulance was unable to operate.

Wiltshire Air Ambulance is continuing to work to find a replacement Air Operator Certificate.
