Apologies if there is a fairly obvious answer to my question, but why have the MET gone for the 145 - size, speed, range, economics? Looking at units across the UK, the 135 seems the machine of choice on offer from EC - I'm just wondering why the MET have gone for the larger offering. Other ASUs across the UK seem happy to take new 135s (West Mids, East Mids, South Wales - I think).

Do you think the 145 will now be the machinery of choice for units looking to replace their current equipment - North Wales for example? I would have thought the larger 145 is ideal for units that offer a HEMS service in conjunction with the police role.

Anyway, thank you all for your time.
Kelly.
