Swindon's air ambulance
Wiltshire Air Ambulance's most visited town/city for the last few years has been Swindon.
With a population of 233,713, according to the 2021 census, it's understandable that we are called to Swindon, on average, more than three times a week.
Our airbase in Semington, near Trowbridge, is just 11 minutes’ flying time to the town centre.
