X398 YUP This is a Road Casualty Reduction Unit, which included the only speed camera (including Gatsos) in Durham Constabulary’s area in 2001. However, there are many marked and unmarked police cars with on-board recording equipment!

This is a photograph of G-NEAU, one of the two police helicopters used in North East England covering the Northumbria, Durham and Cleveland forces. This Eurocopter 135 is based at Durham Tees Valley Airport. It carries a Nite-Sun searchlight, daylight and thermal imaging video camera and a stretcher.

Here we have a G-WPAS, the Wiltshire Police Air Support Unit. The MD Explorer helicopter is jointly operated with Wiltshire Ambulance Service as an air ambulance.
The helicopter lifts off. You can see the gyrostabilised camera mounted below the nose of the helicopter and the night-sun spotlight mounted at the end of the port skid.
G-WPAS is not equipped with a tail rotor. Instead, hot air is ducted out of the rear of the boom providing stability. This makes the aircraft quieter to operate and easier to control when landing in confined places. It also makes it safer for persons moving around the exterior of the aircraft when its engines are running.
