How long's a bit of string?

What are the criteria:
What range is required?
What payload is required?
Is day/night/SPIFR a need/want/requirement?

B412EP will better any of the named types, with the AW139 coming along (give it another year or two: hopefully!) as a 21st Century replacement. 109S is small, but then so is the Bo105 and the 135, but for short range primary stuff, it seems to cope.

What level of medical care needs to be carried: NETS/PETS, on board gas/power, how big a power converter needed? What voltage do you need to go up to?

So, how long is that piece of string: are we talking UK short range county stuff, or somewhere in between AA and SARH?

Pub debate? Who's is the first round
