VFR: it wasn't "..us mere flying types..." whatever that means, .....just you!!
You touched on an evocative issue there about joint ops between the ambulance trusts and police ops. It will never happen because the demands of each are so diverse. Chasing a vehicle with armed bank robbers carries as much if not more precedence than breaking off that job and diverting to a serious RTA....does it not?
Nr Fairy: Are you sure about the Wiltshire police helo giving precedence to the ambulance authority?? News to me.....
