Im sure that when the ministers statement cane out, the three twelve hour flights were going to be Portland, Chiv and Boulmer! I may be wrong but if it is true that leaves a massive hole in the south west! How they can justify that, i do not know but obviously the money saving is more important than a robust SAR coverage. Another question to ask is weather or not the aircraft will be available for the essential med transfers they currently spend a good amount of time performing? With the reduced night time coverage, will they be able to allow an aircraft out of the area to take a time critical patient who is in need of specialist care?
