Well said Wallsend,
Aircraft availability being discussed in a public forum is a bit of a no no when it comes to Police Aircraft, so well done in not 'dropping a line' to the press who after all rely on tidbits from operators to provide copy and therefore justify it's inclusion their 'magazine'. if we were a little more circumspect in our dealings with the press perhaps they would have to start to work for a living!
Both aircraft have something to offer in the Police/HEMS role, Both have their evangelists and doomsayers.
Ultimately it's down to what suits the unit at the time as to which gets purchased.
Both aircraft do the job and do it well, may it continue into the future.
