Naughty bankers are fined - and the Devon Air Ambulance receives some of the spoils
Devon Air Ambulance has had a one million pound windfall, thanks to badly behaved bankers.
Banker fined by the government for fixing interest rates may be licking their wounds, but their penance is going to a good cause: emergency services charities.
The air ambulance applied for some of the cash - and on Wednesday found out they've been given the grant to help them install 300 night-time landing sites.
The announcement came in the Chancellor of the Exchequer's autumn statement.
Local communities have to keep nighttime landing locations in good order, but this money will now fund the cost of flood-lighting to enable the service's two helicopters to operate in the hours of darkness.
