There seems to be very little leaking out of the police press offices about mutual aid working [or not] and even less [what is less than nothing?] coming out of NPAS sources about how well the mutual aid worked.
Now you would think that this was a perfect opportunity for air support in general and NPAS in particular to be crowing about how well a National resource worked under pressure.
There will have been problems of course and I do not expect anyone to be shouting too loud about the fact that the police forces surrounding London could not downlink their analogue images to a digital MP control centre, but every story can be turned into a silk purse if someone thinks about it....
Maybe I answered my own question. Think.
