The pilot and crew in my opinion are never paid enough for the dangerous missions they undertake and save lives ! I have never understood why they are all funded by charity donations in England and Wales, up here in Scotland they are funded by the NHS directly. Scotland has two helicopters which are about to be replaced in early 2020 and additionally two Beechcraft Super King Air fixed wing aircraft.

The two new helicopters EC145s are G-ISAS (guess this one for Inverness) and G-GSAS (Glasgow) both will be yellow scheme and Gama the operators will have a spare heli G-GMAH painted Grey ! In addition to this we do have a charity air ambulance helicopter based at Perth but not sure what missions this operates ?
