Regarding the story on page 2 in this week's Star with reference to the Thames Valley and Chiltern Air Ambulance, if readers really wish to help all the air ambulances of England and Wales, they should log on to the e-petition at http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Air-ambulance, in support of partial government funding.

Scotland's Air Ambulance Service is totally Government funded which is discriminatory.
