Either way a customer looking for 3 of anything rare - and the 902 is rare - will find prices climbing.....
True, but they already had one, Lincs and Notts are in the queue for a new one so LNAA will be available before too long and PAS will be servicing the Trinity House contract with another. So they are out there.
Perhaps the future plan calls for more inter-hospital transfers where the speed and endurance of the Dauphin will be superior to the 902?
They obviously haven't chosen them for their all-terrain capability...
