in reply to those who disagree with the info i posted, as i said, i'm not a pilot so the exact technical info may be sligthly off. however, there are three pages of speculation on this thread as to if an incident even happened. i merely posted the incident as i saw it.
in answer to arkroyal, BTP has a part-time air support unit, operated in association with Network Rail. we have been operating for three years, firstly in the south-west and since may 2003, in the midlands. we are currently trying to secure funding to go full time. this will come, hopefully, later this year.
the aircraft used are squirrels of a bolkow, both provided by Veritair at cardiff, who also operate the South and East Wales Air Support Unit.
oh! and CVT is actually covered by West Midlands Air Support, so now who's getting their facts wrong!
