Civilian TFOs have been binned as well, as they didn't really work as they didn't have a Police mindset. Again that was foretold when they were introduced.
Not totally true.

As for NPAS, they have gone. The building was their only connection with the airfield and they now have moved to another at East Midlands, a location that was strangely a location they dreamed of in 2012 when they started...... In view of the very tenuous links they have with their fixed wing (shall we keep it, shall we not) and the lacklustre performance in terms of hours flown I doubt they will even have a fixed wing by the time DSA reopens for business in a few years time
Strangely enough, EMA is a central location for England and Wales, one reason they used to base the Coast Guard aircraft there, if you need to be at one side of the country or the other, a central location is the optimum. I would have thought the drop in hours shown on one of the charts above would be due to moving and setting up the new base at EMA.
