I fuel stopped at Carlisle on my way to Jockistan on Thursday August 30th after lunch and G-HEMS was parked on the H in it's PDG colours. Interesting shade of green.......

I regularly see her in action as I live on the normal approach path for one of the local hospitals. Few directly overhead my house middle of last week.

certainly has a distinctive sound and quite a rotor "snarl/roar" at speed

Ah, RobK, there's nothing like constructive informed criticism of an aircraft. And that was nothing like constructive informed criticism of an aircraft... Still, welcome to PPRuNe - it's good to see new contributors.

Thud and Blunder :D

From your knowledgeable comment I presume you've flown both types as I have? Funny, I would rather have the MD902 for air ambulance work any day. You obviously know something I don't?

There is nothing wrong with the MD902, it makes a great air ambulance.

It did, in the past, gain a bad reputation for unserviceability but that was due to poor backup by the manufacturer which has now, more or less, been put right.

The 902 makes a fantastic Air Ambulance - even when converted from a previous Police Only role :ok:

G-HEMS
 

I see that G-HEMS has just left service with Great North Air Ambulance and I was wondering if anyone knows where she is going next.

Thanks

Jim :ok:

G-HEMS
 

Staying with PDG for the moment. Multiflight won the Northern Air Ambulance contract earlier this year and commenced operations this fall.

I have it on good authority from a PDG inside source that G-HEMS is being lovingly prepared for a full repaint into their current corporate colour scheme. :ok:

Yellow.....

nah, Burgundy!

........... and has now been re-registered G-PDGK !

and is still in lots of bits!!!

As it looked Once Upon a Time.

Love the curtains.

lots of good and bad memories
 

6009 was a protype aircraft, wiring diagrams never matched the machine , autopilot was a peice of crap, a liitle man from Peterhead , myself and a man from SFIM spent weeks re-wiring it with a break out box and dodgy wiring diagrams for best part of 2 weeks in Antigua, but eventually got it working, it left the UK with same autopilot snag several years before under a concession from the seller (intermittent fault), that aside it performed well in the Sun for several years before making its way home to that unfortunate incident with the bridge

Glad to hear she is still flying, if you ever get a chance to recce the log books , its like a who's who of current and past uk engineers and operators, I used to spend hours looking for signatures and names I recognised

Good luck to her and lets hope she has a few years left in her yet!!
