Air ambulance supporters abseil down fortress
BBCA group of air ambulance supporters abseiled down a historic landmark to raise money for charity.
The volunteers, who raised about £16,000, descended from the top of the Royal Citadel in Plymouth on Saturday.
It comes after the Devon Air Ambulance helped save a soldier's life at the fortress.
The trust's pilot Richard Applegarth said: "Some time ago we got tasked into the Citadel to look after a cardiac arrest from one of the regiments. Now they're [Armed Forces] donating their time and location to help fundraise the cost of the mission."
One person speaking before their abseil told the BBC: "I'm looking forward to doing a really good job for the air ambulance, they deserve a lot of support."
The charity estimates that the money raised will pay for four lifesaving missions.
