Any direct services in the 135 that aren't disconnected by the Batt switch? (for example; a cockpit clock.)
Our cockpit clock(135) is clockwork, ie windup. I suppose the pilot could have left the standby horizon switched on.

Incapable of protecting their own aircraft! Utterly pathetic!
Any(sensible) suggestions, heli-cal?

Makes one wonder why your ordinary street thug or second story man would would want to poke the Plod in the eye like this?
Because we are that effective. I don't think they were your "ordinary" street thug, somehow.

For that matter, a Plod could have been stationed there all night for years for what this will cost.
One PC on a night shift, £23000 to £33000 a year, depending on how long he's been serving. What's he going to do, sit in the aircraft all night?
