Just an observation Heli1,

but if money is short, a Bo 105 will be a lot cheaper than a shiny new 109.

When Thames Valley started up they began with a 109. After a while they changed to a Bo 105, to save money. I believe they still use that type, although an EC135 is planned soon.

It is presumably more difficult to raise money for an air ambulance that does not actually exist.
