SDS Helicopter

PAT 3 is a gyrocopter (referred as a helicopter) used by Pat while working for the Special Delivery Service. Its name is written on its fin. It has a single door and no windows, save for a tiny windshield on the front to protect Jess. This model has wheels instead of stands.

It was also used to lift Daisy the cow up a mountain, carry a bouncy castle and save P.C. Selby from being carried away by helium balloons.

Ben had to fly it once to help Pat sort out a problem with a special delivery.

Multiple versions of this helicopter appear in Postman Pat The Movie.

Just like Pat’s other vehicles, PAT 3 is red. However, just like the other SDS Vehicles, it’s a darker shade of red then PAT 1.
