Eurocopter EC135/EC635

[Spey_Phantom]

since we have a topic for the EC145 derivatives, i thought why not make one for the EC135/635.
its also a helicopter with endless capabilities.
the standard civil model is in military service in Japan, Ireland & Germany
Belgium had plans to aquire 15 to 20 of these to replace the Alouette II, but once again, thank you budgetcuts  

just like the -145, the -135 also has many derivatives.

there is the standard EC-135





the military utility and armed EC635 (spotted this on a EADSeurocopter youtube channel)







and then there's the specially modified versions, like the German helicops version (German version of Bleu Thunder)

This is one that has caught my attention recently because a local air ambulance service has been flying an EC135 for about a year now and it flies over my house quite often. I still occasionally see the Augusta they were using before the 135 came in to service.

Need some optics on there, or some lumps and bumps for radar.

A 'Proof of Concept' trials ship perhaps?

BUMP:

some more food for thought.


Armed version EC635: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdwSlNgz3-c
someone should come up with a navalised version for shipborne operations 
i would love to see some of these as German UH-1D replacements or French ALAT Alouette & Gazelle replacements.

i remember seeing this a few years back, inspirational
