The sculptures, at White Platts in Ambleside; Tweedies in Grasmere; Campbell Memorial Green in Coniston; and Hope Park in Keswick, have all been painted with different designs by Keswick artist Paul Wilmott and GNAAS volunteer Jill Libby from Penrith, who required the aid of the charity in 2012 following a biking event.
Cumbria County Councillor Will Clark, who is likewise a volunteer and former client of GNAAS, contributed in securing the sites in Grasmere, where he lives, and Ambleside.
Mr Clark suffered a severe spine injury in July 2012 when a stick got caught in his bike spokes while taking part in a charity triathlon, and he broke his neck.
He stated: “GNAAS almost certainly saved my life carrying me to the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle where they could operate in twenty minutes, the exact same journey by road might have took up to two hours.
“Since GNAAS helped my rescue it has actually been great to attempt and give a little something back.
“I am delighted that both Tweedie’s in Grasmere, and The Lakes Parish Council at White Platts in Ambleside have accepted to be part of the project.”
The helicopters will be on display across Cumbria throughout the summertime.
