I noticed G-NHEM on FR24 EC135 over north Wales-I take it this one of the NI Hems helicopters,perhaps on delivery flight? :-\

HLE72 is the North West Air Ambulance callsign based in Manchester.

Ah-maybe a glitch in FR24 then-it was the reg that made me think it was one of ours,service was due to start in March 2017 from what I recall.
Thanks for the update.

It could well be the case that the crew are working up in Manchester prior to starting here.
On checking further it's probably G-NWEM.
1851 - My apologies AT - G-NHEM is on 127.500 and routing to Enniskillen.

No need to apologise :) -it was the G-NHEM reg that made me notice it,and after all FR24 isn`t always accurate.
