Those of you who advocate a weather radar I have to ask you why do you need this item. I cannot see an advantage in having one flying in UK and Europe as there is ground radar available which if you are receiving Radar Informantion or Radar Advisory you should be able to request rerouting assistance due to adverse weather. Or am I wrong. It might be that I don't fly in nasty thundery weather because a little EC135 is no match for the brute forces of nature in CU and CB and remember you said it was VIP and for sure your VIP will not like flying in nasty weather.
