4-5 minutes to turn off an explorer!!! i'd go for more like 30 seconds. I wonder if the people of Derbyshire realise that an air ambulance now operates out of Sheffield and between them, Lincs/Notts and Cosford/ Stafford cover the area quite well without the need to replace the one at East Mids.
As for the pro's and cons of an A109, i wouldn't really want to be operating a tricycle wheeled machine in the Peaks.....
