First Responder, Blood Transfusion Service, BASICS Doctor, diecast scale models.
Ambulance Collection Complete!
With 4 final additions, my SAS/Emergency Healthcare collection is complete and has representation from 1990-present day. (I’m not bothered about modelling Special Operations “SORT”).
1. Vauxhall Astra represents SAS Paramedic Response Units during the 2000’s. This rounds off my PRU fleet with representations of the 90’s, 00’s, 2010’s up to present day.
2. Privately owned BMW X5, as BASICS Scotland/Sandpiper Responder. Although difficult to see, there are BASICS sticker on the front and rear windows and has green warning lights. BASICS stands for British Association for Immediate Care. I’ve also painted a figure to a BASICS flight suit and hi-vis jacket. Red epaulettes or hi-vis typically identifies Doctors, however now seems to denote any Senior Clinician on scene. - www.sandpipertrust.org/#what-we-do - basicsscotland.org.uk/about-us/
3. SAS affiliated Community First Responder Volvo XC90. With half Battenburg ambulance style markings, but no emergency lighting or siren system, similarly to the Doctor on Green lights, they have no exemptions to Road Traffic laws and neither can exceed speed limits or go through red traffic lights.
4. Blood Transfusion Service emergency vehicle. This model is intended to represent both Transfusion services and “Blood Bike” charity groups.
Jack Copland established Scotland’s first blood transfusion service in 1930 with his teenage son taking calls and driving donors to hospital. SNBTS have a small fleet of blue light equipped vehicles, their drivers trained by the Scottish Ambulance Service, in fact we had 2 SNBTS staff on my blue light training course.
