Your information about the LongRanger into Taranaki Base Hospital is totally wrong. Sounds like the CAA/ ministers changing information to suit their argument. The facts: Helicopter was on a positioning flight from port, engine oil pressure began "fluctuating", helicopter landed at Base Hospital with full power, shut down normally. Fault traced to engine oil scavenge pump failure, but the point is, didn't result in engine failure, the fault allowed plenty of time for a safe powered landing, the pilot did exactly what the flight manual required.
As for medical transfer from Wellington - no. I can tell you the next flight after repair and air test was a flight to Wellington Hospital and the flight nurse signed to allow use of 13a.
