Cabin CO2 detector! £5.50 each!

Found a packet of 2 for £1.00 in Wilkinsons. When respectfully pointing this out to maint outfit, was told that the Wilkinson one wasn't 'from an approved supplier'.

Then asked maintenance outfit to point out where CO2 detector was on minimum equipment list for 206, then had them remove their £5.50 one as it was not required. Replaced it with 50p one from Wilkinsons.

What is it about helicopters? Do people think that we got rich enough to own an expensive toy by being stupid?
