I just found out what I want to do with my 1/48 Voisin bomber:

What a pity the GWGB just ended…ah well, will still build it.

Splendid idea!
Wasn't there a Mil Mi-6/26 kitted out as a flying hospital at some point?
-
there's several pics of a MI-2 Ambo on posted here somewhere ..... (see sample below).
quite a few ..... off the top of my head ....
the obvious - Ju-52, DC-3, C-46, C-124 Globemaster (korean war).
Storch, PiperCub, Auster, Stuka (pods), Dragon Rapide, Cant 506, P-38 (modded drop-tanks), OV-10 Bronco (medevac was part of the design criteria), Transavia Airtruk, Spassatel (2nd "Loon" ekranoplan - 7 flight-crew + 490 medics/patients)
-
P-38 / F-5 ...... " they DID disable the "jettison" button, didn't they ?"
-
Cant-506 & Spasatel ekranoplan ...

Great collection raafif!
BTW: 'Beech18ambo' is actually an ex-SAAF Lockheed Lodestar of No. 1 Air Ambulance Unit RAAF.

Fast medevac Harrier with two passenger pods similar to the ones that were mocked up? Perhaps a version of the two-seater that would allow a medic to ride along and monitor the patients?
-
If anyone fancies the Ju-87 pods (or grafting them onto something else for that matter), Airmodel do vac-form ones for a very reasonable price: http://www.airmodel.de/product_info.php?info=p60_junkers-ju-87-d-3-personal-pods.html (http://www.airmodel.de/product_info.php?info=p60_junkers-ju-87-d-3-personal-pods.html)

Don't forget the Sikorsky Skycrane with the field hospital container:

I wish someone did 1/48 versions.

What about something like this as a casualty evac system:

As long as you don't get bounced on the way to the hospital! :icon_surprised:
Could you imagine being in there when the pilot goes into "fighter-pilot" mode with a Zero bearing down on him? :o
-
I wonder if those P-38 pods were converted from fuel tanks?

Wonder if dropping sick people on the enemy counts as biological warfare?
"Y'see Fred, we think you've got Anthrax, so we're puttin' you on this plane to get you to a special hospital real quick like, honest....."

My embarrassed :-[ - the photos I showed above are supposedly actually of casualty evacuation pods attached to an F-5, the reconnaissance variant of the P-38 Lightining. Helps if I read the actual article wouldn't it.

Or indeed post #4..... ;)

Ok…even more embarrassed (http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/embarrassed/embarrassed.gif)

To make amends (and to distract you lot), any discussion of flying ambulances must include reference to the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia. To start with, they used QANTAS assistance:

Later on the were an iconic user of the GAF Nomad:

Now they use more mundane platforms:

I particularly like the idea of doing a RFDS V-22.

Didn't the RFDS also use the DeHavilland Drover, designed and built by DeHavilland of Australia? There's a picture of a TAA one in the civil BV-222 thread.
-
I should note that the Sikorsky HH-60M has a pretty good medevac fit.

Yes, they did. For some reason there were a lot of pictures of them when I was looking for TAA flying boat pictures. :-\
Here you go, any number to pick from in this lot;

I'll see if I can get pics of our C-17 with Infectious Disease Patient apparatus installed.
