Powys air ambulance coming into land. The people of Powys rely heavily upon the air ambulance service as much of the population live in isolated rural communities not speedily accessible by road. The Royal Shrewsbury is usually the nearest appropriate hospital for emergency treatment. When the ambulance is about to land or take off the car park entrances and nearby access roads are closed - note gates on the right.
