Any thoughts on AgustaWestland's proposal?
Police Aviation - AgustaWestland looks to UK Police Market for AW139 sales | Shephard Group
Only issue(s) I can potentially see are the costs and availability of LZs in tight spots. Admittedly, the Japanese police and Chinese police ASUs do have some 139 as well as the Sultan of Oman's police but they operate in bigger areas.
The only force(s) in UK I could see potentially having it are Dyfedd Powys (their AW109E covers a very large area and mountainous) and Strathclyde or Cardiff , where for the latter two forces I guess the 139 could complement the 135 for SWAT and SAR/EMS purposes?
