Regarding your multiple questions, I myself have no idea?
However, there is an update on the "Police Aviation News" website with regards to the new EC145's and their current progress to possible operational service.

Coconutty,
You sure that's an EC145 from Eurocopter?
I hope that was on the paint scheme drawings, otherwise it might be considered as 'Damage to Police property'
Funny place for a fuel filler cap...on the door!

Brilliant Stuff,
I know some very light MALE Police pilots, so we need weights before the title can be awarded.
Is this a different female pilot or has the one in NI moved (don't hear her much over here lately)?

Not wishing to downgrade the lady any, but she is 'probably' the first 'directly employed' police helicopter pilot in the UK mainland.....unless you know better!
A bit thin as a first I am afraid!
For the record the lady in NI '[mentioned above] did not think her position was worthy of a round of applause so there was no special announcement made by her then employers.
It seems that the first lady police helicopter pilot was probably Gaye Absolem who flew for the Met in 1974 on the Air Gregory contract. I squeaked when HAI recently declared another to that 'honour' for the 2007 awards and they reluctantly changed it to 'In the USA' .... not that I am sure that Gaye could care less!
Firsts is always a tricky area, the first World and UK police aviation helicopter use just came up and was celebrated [60 years] but as in its day the Cierva Autogiro was called a 'helicopter' it is tricky ground... but as the pilot was Alan Bristow
perhaps one worth marking.
Where will the firsts stop... first bisexual pilot next?
