Minself and whoate - nice try but the fish ain't biting today

Unlike the AA, we don't have to try and justify our existence/funding by launching to every shout.

When AA get full night/IFR/NVG capability and a big enough heli to do ICU patient transfer, they will be too expensive for the charities to afford and will then fold or go back to day VMC.

BTW, our paramedics are trained to the same standard as your paramedics (does the term clinical governance mean anything to you?)

Oh, and under SARH, there won't be a second SAR aircraft so who will do the medtransfers?

Have you worked out what an ECMO is yet?
