Air ambulance latest

"Pie the sky" is how the Association of Air Ambulances, based in England, has described some of the early claims made by the Ireland Air Ambulance charity.

As BBC Newsline's investigation continues into the Belfast-based group, it's emerged it was collecting money in a part of England that already had a service and was asked to stop.

Last month we revealed that ninety per cent of donations going to the charity in its first year were spent on wages and overheads.

A county Armagh family want a donation of sixty-five thousand pounds, collected on behalf of their dead son, to be returned. So far that hasn't happened.

Our correspondent Kevin Magee continues his investigation with this report which begins in England.
