Getting back to topic
Even at MoDs hideous contracted-out rates for a Sea King, you could do a hell of a lot of inter-hospital transfers of children for the sort of money this charity is postulating to spend on a very limited asset. And most of the time (outside of dark and hideous weather) a conventional Air Ambulance, or even a straightforward charter helicopter, could do it for a lot less than that and would no doubt be delighted to have their mission costs met by another organisation, or just the extra business at standard rates in a recession. Why not just support the existing providers?
