Reported in Heads Up as XW204,220 and ZA940
Let's hope that they are not called upon much in the present crisis.

The serials have been taken from ADS-B, so take them with a pinch of salt.
What are they to be used for, bringing patients from far-flung places to Inverness or Aberdeen maybe?

Codes B, K and V read off at Prestwick, which should tie up with serials quoted above
