Why on earth

Why on earth did they choose the MD902 for their EMS aircraft? Surely with MD's recent spares scarcity and problems it would make anybody think twice about basing an EMS service on an aircraft that may not be reliable. Let alone having your whole fleet as one type.

It concerns me that if a serious fault is found with the 902 fleet most of the Air Ambulance aircraft in the UK will be grounded leaving great tracks of England with very limited coverage.

I'm reminded of a saying that goes "Never fly the 'A' model of anything"

If it is about money then I suggest we all start hoarding petrol.

N.B Sorry if I rambled a bit but it's after lunch and it's warm in the office
