This sits nicely between tactical Critical Care Air Support Team (CCAST) and strategic CCAST requirements. It does mean in time critical cases they don't have to use a Voyager for instance from Gibralter in a C130J or A400M maybe 4 hours in an 146 2.5 hours. Also, has a greater ceiling compared to the C130J or the A400M giving a smoother ride for the patient in general. Doesn't sound a lot but it is also the kit is Voyager compatible.for the stretcher support arms etc. I suspect they will remain at Northolt rather than Brize Norton.
