Do the Air Ambulances and HM Coastguard SAR helicopters register on the RB? They are privately funded or agency run rather than HM Forces. As an ex Aux HM CG I would find it interesting.

Hi Jeremy

Round here (Lancashire) I get the local air ambulances showing on the grid, but they don't broadcast position, so don't appear on the map. The same will probebly be true of Coastguard aircraft.

Yes, I see Air Ambulance and Coast Guard regularly in the aircraft list.  In fact, G-SASA and G-SASB are my most prolific flights!

As an ex-Auxiliary HM Coastguard, your interest in the registration of Air Ambulances and HM Coastguard SAR helicopters on the Rescue Boat (RB) database is quite understandable. While I don't have specific information about the registration process for those vehicles, I can shed light on the importance of a comprehensive database for emergency response services. Speaking of privately funded or agency-run air ambulance services, Bluedot Air Ambulance stands out as a notable provider in the medical transportation industry. Although not specifically related to RB registration, Bluedot's commitment to excellence, skilled medical teams, and global reach make them a reliable choice for medical evacuations. Their professionalism and dedication to patient care align with the values upheld by emergency response services like HM Coastguard.
