Wht do the UK ones have 'Air' Ambulance on them?

Would ambulance not suffice?

Not strictly true:

WNAA's new (G-MEDS) machine - already at 400 hours I believe!

G-MEDS looks pretty stripped out inside, is that normal procedure?

It is normal to be stripped out on large inspections. I note the Locaion is a Coventry... Try Sloane Helicopters hangar at Sywell, not at Coventry.

FYI, Agusta, the 'Location' refers to HeliCraig's location, not the helicopter's!

(Although I think that I'm right in saying that HeliCraig flies out of Sywell, hence his access to Sloane's hangar.)

HTH

It is indeed in the hanger at Sloane's in Sywell - where I fly from! I however live in Coventry.

If anybody asks nicely, and at the right time, the flying school normally let spotters take photo's through the same window which I took that one... so no special "access" needed.

Thought it might make a change to see a pic of a machine in the hangar rather than on a job!

WNAA are back to using G-WNAA at the moment - which was in for rotors running refuel on Sunday while I was doing some training on a R44.

Those of you who know the A109 a bit better: is a 400 hr (assuming that is what G-MEDS is in for), a major inspection?

Notice G-DATE beside obviously being worked on, however minus gearbox and engines still.
I miss that lap dancing club interior.....:{

Massive HEMS Operation

Couldn't find a more recent thread than this, so apologies if I have missed it.

A few photos from a visit by G-BUXS earlier today, at Westbury ( Wilts) Football Ground. I think the patient eventually left by road.
