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.
Trivia[]
- One of PAT 3's models is now owned by the Cosgrove Hall Archive at the Waterside Arts Centre as of 2021.
- Some scenes are CGI when the helicopter is flying and sometimes, when Pat enters the sorting office, the helicopter has to be digitally added in.

- Rivet detailing.
- A longer windscreen on the front.
- Two lights between the front light.
- A step ladder on both sides of the door along with door handles.
