RAF Refuse Child Life Saving Transplant' would go down with the British Public?
I never suggested you shoulden't take the task, just that you shouldn't have been asked.
I'm sure the airforce
PR dept would never refuse, it deflects attention away for a moment from all the unpopular thankless tasks.
And I would have thought your stretchers/aeromed teams are lying around for your own patients, or for getting UK citizens out of places civil air CANT go.
MACA should be used where civil resources cannot, there is nothing here to suggest that the cost to the MOD of at least £15K is justifiable against the cost to the NHS of £5K for a bizjet, ultimately its the same people paying.
(its been a few years since I did charter brokering so those figures will have gone up)
Anyhow my congratulations to those involved in navigating UK airspace, must have been a toughy.
