Is the £2137 per aircraft.
Yes £83,340 divided among 39 aircraft "However it should be noted that any reduction in these numbers will represent a further increase in this total"
Oh, and add VAT to it as well.
This is more than the entire cost in 2005/6 of keeping the Police Islander at Lee for a year, including the lease of the aerodrome! See
this answer to a FoI request.
They are now claiming that the cost of running the airfield is £219,250 plus an additional £39,490 attributable to GA.
As recently as November last year the Chief Constable told the Police Authority that the cost was "in the region of 80k", later confirmed as £80,70. As someone who pays the Hampshire Police Precept I'm wondering if a Chief Constable who can't count is a good idea.
The alternative is that he knows exactly what he is doing and just thinks up a figure. Not sure whether "If you want to know the time ask a policeman" is a good idea hereabouts.
