EC135 formation pair from EGSC slow over Cambridge

Just seen pair of EC135 from EGSC over one's house, in slow formation, almost to the point of hovering / coming into approach over Cambridge city centre and seemed to do a circuit around back to EGSC.

Think one of them was yellow EAAA machine and the other had floats but didnt look like one of the ASU consortium (Essex or Suffolk)

Hmm curious

Could be a filming sortie for air-ambulance publicity - pretty local city in background etc.

You don't seem to be able to get within 100 meters of an Air Ambulance these days without tripping over a film crew!

OH

That's a point, think one of the aircraft may have been flying either slightly behind or slightly in front.

Though if the other ship was a filming, couldn't see the port side to see if camera crew sticking their equipment out.

However looking back it be doubtful utile rial filming utilise AS355 around here as there i am not aware of any EC135 configured for aerial filming in UK let alone with a Tyler mount for hand held systems.

Cheers

The 135 with floats was white/ silver not Bond red and IiRc barring some of the air ambulances in yellow scheme, most of the Bond 135 fleet is red.
