Based on your statement of Bridgend Police paying £1,000 per hour all in for an EC135, why is anybody purchasing an EC135. Surely everyone would lease at that competitive price.
My own calculation (very accurate based on Eurocopter stated figures)) make it greater than £1,000 per hour to operate including all components, engines and avionics on pbh. Is servicing and all components included in the £1,000 per hour price.
I am sure there are quite a few Police ASUs watching this post.
