Simply, I believe the first two named in my list were assisted by the HELP Appeal which has the charity number you refer to. That provides assistance for EMS helipads and AFAIK is run by Midlands Air Ambulance, charity 1143118

My list was not looking at how they are funded but merely remarking on the surge of capital projects that did not involve buying a helicopter. Granted some of the AA charities have been buying helicopters more recently and of the nine helicopters owned by UK EMS charities, six have loans against them
