Hide AdIain, a retired University of Central Lancashire lecturer living in Abbeystead, said: "The air ambulance is a frequent visitor to our area and is literally life saving as it takes a long time for traditional ambulances to reach our area and then get to a hospital.
"As a pilot I recognise that there is nothing worse than low fuel (except perhaps runway behind you!).
"My target is to provide at least 10 hours of fuel for one of their Eurocopter EC135s. These aircraft drink about 423 pints an hour!”
