Following the successful initial use of helicopters as Air Ambulances in West Germany, the British Government tasked the RAF with trialling a similar concept in Great Britain.
Gazelle ZB333 'Canary' was attached to No.22 squadron of the RAF.
It is important to note that Canary was never a true Air Ambulance as is now accepted, it was seen as a 'first responder' and a force-multiplier to the larger rescue helicopters. It was also used for the transport of walking wounded from remote areas where ground vehicles might have issues with access , thereby allowing the larger helicopters to concentrate on the more serious casualties.

You've got a thing about Gazelles. haven't you?  ;D

That looks great, and very plausible too.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Well I got a kit out of the stash to do the black and yellow one for the group build, and it turned out there were two kits in the box  ;D

So I could hardly put the second one back could I  ;D

Thank-you Tophe, On a trip to Germany last year I got interested in the yellow ADAC helicopters (and I have several in the stash to do) This helicopter was a sideways step from those. :mellow:

Thank-you for all the positive comments gents, I've not been actively wfiffing recently so it's nice to receive such a  :thumbsup: response as I sneak back into the room  ;D ;D

Yet another neat looker  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Very pretty.
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

That looks great. Can I ask what scale that one is? I'm searching valiantly for a 1/144 scale one, but not luck so far.
Thanks!
