He has been fed a line then Cpt_Pugwash - the existing CHC contractors in Stornoway and Sumburgh spend a lot of time doing transfers to hospitals from remote islands and the like - SARH will bring the same S-92 aircraft to the whole country and, although they won't be military aircraft and only some will be flown by military crews, the capability will still be there ( and even enhanced by having a modern, faster aircraft with a ramp).
The current AAs are very limited where they can go for hospital transfers at night - they certainly don't land in Regent's Park like we do - that is the LS for Gt Ormond St, the leading children's hospital in UK I believe - so if TCAA can't go there by night, where else won't they be able to fly to?
Someone is being hoodwinked about the need for and capability of the proposed TCAA - maybe it is just a nice little earner for those organising the fundraising.
