NPAS helicopters are certainly not suitable for rescue (albeit in certain circumstances they could perhaps 'assist' individuals) but what action was taken by the call handlers to request assistance from those that could? Odiham and Benson with SH are literally just down the road, although at that time of the night their reaction of the UK standby aircraft might be quite slow, but there is (supposedly) a 24 hour SAR system covering the UK that should have been able to help. It would have not been an easy task - even daylight tasks on the top of blocks of flats were 'interesting' - but were they even asked?
