Think it looks great Ned. Quick thought and by no means a criticism but if you had the SAR machines facing the other way you would see the hoist fits? Although accept it would affect the flow of the whole image. Thanks for compiling.

Yeah we did debate that but would prob look a bit weird. However am open to getting everyones thoughts on this. Would prob do the 2 S92s and the AW189 the other way if we did do that.

Ned,
As you say, it would look weird and not be consistent with the series. Also, TBH, apart from diehard SAR aficionados, does anyone really care much about the hoist fit? Surely, one hoist above a door looks likes like any other?!
Brilliant work, well done!

If those three SAR machines all fit on one line, then I think it could do well to distinguish the HEMS vs. SAR helicopters (and having them face the other direction might not look as out of place), however if they are spread across multiple lines and facing the opposite direction I agree it might ruin the 'flow' of the image. If it isn't much work, it'd be cool to see a quick draft though?

Did some playing around with some other right hand side illustrations we had and actually looks wrong with three facing one way and the rest facing the other so going to leave it as it is.
If anyone can see any other issues that stand out - apart from the fenestrom on that one which is being fixed then please let me know.

Don’t know how pedantic you want to be but I believe Great North are now operating 155s as their latest and greatest if you wanted to show the most up to date kit used by each charity.
With that in mind would you add the jet-pack paramedic?
