This 1997 built EC135 was first operated by Schider Helicopter Service as OE-XXR in Austria, before it became the 1st twin engine helicopter with Air Glaciers in 2014. It still wears the original Schider paint scheme, and has - surprisingly - only been equipped with a rescue hoist in late 2021. Note the white titles and registration over the previous black letters it carried on other images in the database. Based in Lauterbrunnen in the Bernese Oberland.

In the 2nd half of 2021 alone, Air Glaciers doubled it's rescue helicopter fleet by adding two more EC135's. Besides HB-ZRK (based in Lauterbrunnen) and HB-ZEF (Sion), HB-ZUC joined the fleet in August 2021 and was based in Collombey, while HB-ZUI pictured here was registered in December 2021 and is now flying HEMS missions out of Saanen. HB-ZUI is a 2014 built heli which was previously operated by Danish operator Uni-Fly under registration OY-HJG.

Departing from the football pitch at Saltford School after landing to give the children a look around the helicopter. At the time it was co-owned by Avon and Somerset Constabulary Western Counties Air Operations and Gloucestershire Constabulary, later becoming G-POLH.

Originally G-WMAS with Midlands Air Ambulance. Still carrying Bond title on fuselage but by the time this was taken it was operated by Babcock Mission Critical Services Onshore. De-registered in May 2018 as transferred to France.

Operated by the WPD Helicopter Unit checking electricity lines and seen returning from task as Electricity 33.

Operated by the WPD Helicopter Unit based at Bristol Airport.

This 2001 built EC135 carried test registration D-HECA and from November 2001 was based at the (now Schenk Air) Heliport in Feldkirch, Vorarlberg. It was upgraded to T2 standard in 2005 and later to version T2+. It still is active with the ÖAMTC, having served under different "Christopherus" callsigns over the years in various parts of Austria. Aslo since 2001, the ÖAMTC operates an all EC135 fleet and currently maintains 18 bases throughout Austria. So far, 34 different EC135's have been registered to the ÖAMTC (OE-XEA to OE-XEZ, OE-XVA to OE-XVF, plus OE-XVI & OE-XVL). Scanned from a slide.
