Captain Wood receives prestigious national award

A dedicated and passionate pilot, who spent 18 years flying the lifesaving aircrew of Midlands Air Ambulance Charity to some of the most critical incidents across the region, has won a prestigious national award.

Captain Matt Wood from Staffordshire was nominated, shortlisted and named winner for the Pilot of the Year Award at this year’s Air Ambulances UK Awards of Excellence. In addition to demonstrating exemplary airmanship, Captain Wood, who retired in October, was recognised for his unfaltering support of Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, the aircrew he worked with and ultimately, his role in giving patients the very best chance of survival and good recovery.
