I apparently made a bit of a bum question - but the photos didnt appear on the screen when I first saw this thread, just a link to a poor picture.
So, apart from no radar, the D&C 145 also doesn't have Hoist and Roping Beam attachments or the USL hook and mirrors, or Loudspeakers but it has the Wire Cutters (for which the Met didnt buy the blades). What a wonderful amount of standardisation the police forces have? I wonder if NVG is still installed. I don't see in these pics any aerials for digital downloading?
The Wire Cutter Modified Skids are supposed to avoid trapping Cables/Wires under the Fuselage and so need to have that very high front profile to guide cables away - I guess this camera mount is supposed to fill that gap (but I somehow doubt it!)
I am quite surprised that the CAA/EASA were persuaded to allow this variance from the STC. Is there a smooth talker somewhere at ECUK or D&C? Will it take a Wire Strike to reinstate the correct front end?
