The amount of equipment in a HEMS aircraft is greater than in a SAR helicopter.
This is a genuine question. What is carried in a HEMS aircraft that isn't carried in a SAR aircraft?
Also I'd like to add that my previous post was intentionally flippant in response to Flaxton Flyer's post and not what I actually think. It's just exceptionally frustrating when you have an aircraft and crew (often with a fully trained and civilian registered paramedic) on call and you're not asked to help out when an incident like this occurs in your area.
