Kev 35's e-mail to Air Scotland

Here is a transcript of Kevin’s e-mail to Air Scotland applauding their decision to utilise their only aircraft at the request of the Swedish goverment to transport sick and injured Swedish nationals home from the tsumami devastated area of Sri Lanka.

As requested by Kevin, it will become a sticky for a period and any appropriate reply posts will be printed and forwarded to Air Scotland in Glasgow.

“To the Management, Staff and Crews of Air Scotland.

We are a group of enthusiasts who use the Airliner World forum hosted by Key Publishing Limited.

The whole world is shocked and saddened by the disaster in South Asia, the numbers of dead, injured and missing become ever more incomprehensible. In these dark and disastrous days, humanity is pulling together to try and relieve the suffering of those affected.

There is no greater evidence of this than the sterling effort made by Air Scotland in the repatriation of Swedish Nationals. Expecting stranded passengers, the aircraft then became an ambulance. Many people owe their lives to the extraordinary efforts of the crew involved.

Both the crew and the airline are worthy of our praise, respect and our gratitude. Many of us can do little more than put our hands in our pockets but Air Scotland made a supreme humanitarian effort in a time of great crisis.

Air Scotland, we salute you.”
