Whilst flying a night shift I had what could only be described as a NPAS night.....

Lifted to an incident in another force with a 20 minute response for mispers, 15 minutes into it we get cancelled, turn around and head back to our force and do a few photographic jobs. then called back to that force for a suspect contained, 15 minute transit 10 minutes into it, cancelled 25 minute flight back to base for tea and medals??

Nah can we now go to a force to the north of ours for a suicidal misper?

rotors running refuel, back in the cab, crack on, 20 minute transit and guess what?

cancelled after 10 minutes.

Quote of the evening 'Gentleman we have just completed an NPAS shift, welcome to the future of police aviation, lots of transiting, no results!'
