Okay this is what I now have on the Master List. Anyone missing that you can see. Also do you think we should include the SAR aircraft ? Thoughts everyone.

Thanks and we will put one aircraft type on per operator but if they have two in different schemes such as Kent Surrey Sussex where they have two AW169s in different schemes we will endeavour to put them both. Should an operator have two different types of aircraft in their fleet we will also endeavour to include one of each such as an EC135 and EC145 or MD902 and AW169.

The Thames Valley Air Ambulance is, appropriately, G-TVAL:

Interesting question from someone so far away.

Heli services International (HSI) Those Air Ambulances with their own AOC:- 1. Devon Air Ambulance 2. London’s Air Ambulance 3. Yorkshire Air Ambulance 13 x H135 12 x H145 9 x AW169 4 x MD902 2 x AS365 2 x AW109 1 x Bell 429 Air Ambulance Northern Ireland - 1 x H135 Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust. - 1 x AW169, 1 x MD902 Devon Air Ambulance Trust - 1 x H145, 1 x H135 Dorset Air Ambulance. - 1 x AW169 East Anglian Air Ambulance - 2 x H145 Essex & Herts Air Ambulance Trust - 1 x AW169, 1 x MD902 Great North Air Ambulance - 2 x AS365 Great West Air Ambulance - 1 x H135 Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance - 1 x H135 Kent Surrey Sussex Air Ambulance - 2 x AW169 Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance. - 1 x AW169 London’s Air Ambulance - 2 x MD902 Magpas - 1 x AW169 Midlands Air Ambulance Charity - 1 x H145, 2 x H135 North West Air Ambulance - 3 x H135 Scotlands Charity Air Ambulance. - 2 x H135 Scottish Ambulance Service. - 2 x H145 The Air Ambulance Service - 2 x AW109 The Children’s Air Ambulance - 2 x AW169 (Inter hospital transfers, not primary HEMS) Thames Valley Air Ambulance. - 1 x H135 Welsh Air Ambulance Charitable Trust - 3 x H145, 1 x H135 Yorkshire Air Ambulance. - 2 x H145 Not a UK organisation, but there is an Irish Community Air Ambulance, which is a Sloane AW109. I hope that helps. |
The Air Ambulance service now have 3 AW109s as of March this year, provided by Sloane.
G-WNAS at Coventry (Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance). G-DRLA as East Midlands (Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland Air Ambulance). G-TAAS now the TAAS spare, which spends it's downtime mainly at Sywell. Not UK but in the Republic of Ireland, we've also got G-SHLS in Rathcool, County Cork, for the Irish Community Air Ambulance and as of last Friday G-HEMZ also in Rathcool County Cork, for ICAA (with a very new and snazzy paint scheme). |
Torque Split - Not really. Those that know me know that as well as publishing HeliOps magazine we also regularly do various posters showcasing operators and segments of the industry - example here:
Poster Example We are going to do a poster showing the aircraft and operators involved in the EMS world in the UK and would also include Ireland. There will be an illustration of each aircraft type from each operator included - obviously if an operator has two types such as Wales Air Amb where they have a EC135 and an EC145 then both will be included. If an operator has two of one type such as 2 x EC135s we will only be including an illustration of one of them, not both. |

Are Kent Surrey Sussex still operating the MD902 or just the AW169s.
Is Dorset still operating the EC135 as well as the AW169 Thanks |
No Dorset just on AW-169.
Also Wales have G-WASC at Dafen (making 3 H145 plus 1 EC135 for Wales) |
