Just to point out that 'things' can be 'done' in relation to the loss and movement of aircraft is a story in today's paper in Bristol... things that are not on Pprune even....
An MP has criticised plans to move a police helicopter that covers the Bristol area from Filton to Wiltshire.
Filton and Bradley Stoke MP Jack Lopresti said taking the helicopter to RAF Colerne could lead to a rise in crime in Bristol. The Tory MP said: "The helicopter is based less than three minutes' flying time from Bristol so it can react to any serious crime in the city." He has now laid down a Parliamentary question on the issue.
OK so its only a pin prick but just a few million more might make a change. I believe that this particular move is the result of pressure from pprune sources.
