Dear Peter,
The helicopter mainly used by the Government Flying Service is H175. It
can be equipped and re-roled flexibly with different equipment and systems
depending on mission requirement. For example, the installation of the
emergency medical system kit (EMS Kit) can provide enhanced medical
surveillance and support to patient on board our helicopter. As for Kai
Tak Division, the same type of helicopter is used as per the GFS
headquarter.
