Just to clarify why there are so many police looking bits on KSSH.

After it was withdrawn from police use it was stripped of the obvious police items and sent off to paint so it would be visually ready for Helitech.

If you look carefully you will see that the 'tray' [role pod] underneath is complete with such non-ambulance goodies as the four Tracker/Low-Jack aerials.

KAAT are not expecting delivery of the aircraft for another month [or so] pending the deroling and fitment of the HEMS fit.

For the record I do not recall G-KAAT at Marden having any reason to carry police role equipment from delivery. What has happened is that it has 'recently' started carrying an SX-5 searchlight. What might happen is that KSSH will revert to an SX-5 in place of the current [ex-police] SX-16 as part of the alterations to come.
