People have been able to fly a Cornwall Air Ambulance mission from their phone, tablet or computer screen thanks to the release of a 360-degree film to coincide with Fund a Flight Week (September 11-17).

Previously the film has only been available to view through the use of specialised 360 viewers, but the charity has now released it on Facebook and Youtube for everyone to experience.

Viewers will find themselves strapped into the Cornwall Air Ambulance MD902 helicopter as it lifts off from the charity’s airbase near Newquay, on its way to help a woman at Caerhays Beach.
