UK HEMS - Help Needed
Interesting question from someone so far away.

I will include all aircraft types, not just Leonard or SAS aircraft.
Operators involved:-
1. Babcock
2. Specialist Aviation Services
3. Sloane
4. GAMA
5. Heli services International (HSI)
Those Air Ambulances with their own AOC:-
1. Devon Air Ambulance
2. London’s Air Ambulance
3. Yorkshire Air Ambulance

Another question for members:
What helos and regions do The Air Ambulance Service operate aircraft for. Trying to finish off the illustrations for the UK EMS helos poster we are doing and getting down to the last ones.

VeeAny, would you happen to have any photos of the left hand side of the current paint schemes so we could use them to draw the illustrations. I looked online as seems to be a mix of photos out there so not sure what scheme is current.

One other question for all those here - do we include the S92 SAR helos in the UK and Ireland. Was advised that as well as doing SAR work they also do EMS flights ?
And we will also add on the Irish Defence Forces AW139.
Thanks for your help everyone - poster is not far away from being finished

Thats my question do we include the SAR helos as well. If we do would include 1 x AW189 and 1 x S92 from UK and the one S92 from Ireland. Unless there are other types as well.

Latest and final update. Have just finished the UK and Ireland SAR helos to include. We have done illustrations of every HEMS and SAR machine in the UK and Ireland except the ones from The Air Ambulance Service. Asked them through their social media outlets if they could send us images of their latest aircraft with the latest paint scheme. Got fobbed off and told to contact marketing, emailed marketing no response to three emails so bugger them.
Will let everyone know when its all complete.
Appreciate the help from everyone in putting this together.

Do you have any contacts at Sloane Helicopters? They were probably involved in the supply of the aircraft so may have the paint scheme on file.

FNW - The schemes and markings and aircraft have changed since they were first delivered. To me their attitude just showed me they had no interest in being part of the poster so happy to oblige
All the others look awesome though - and again a big thanks to everyone for helping me put the master list together of what to include.

This photo was taken of G-WNAS on 1/6/21 so I can only presume that it is the current paint scheme:
