Yes, Bryn, - As someone who was Culled as you put it. I have to agree. My crime then as now, was to point out the flawed concept of reducing the availability of Air support to the hard pressed officer on the ground. That was what so many of us worked so hard to achieve, and essentially the fundamental reason that Air Support was there for, - catching criminals and at the same time providing cover for the officers on the ground. When NPAS was first suggested I was very much in support of it but argued that whilst a National Air wing was good from economies of scale point of view, it could only be effective with REGIONAL control centres, not a single National Control. And NO reduction in the fleet or bases.
