PlanB

Silsoe, under Plan B Brighton gets two aircraft cover in less than 20 minutes as opposed to the NPAS plan of one aircraft. In addition that one aircraft at Redhill is to be a Helimed sponsered cab, £250,000 p/a paid to NPAS. The question is, when that cab gets a Helimed call who covers the whole of the south coast for police tasking? Answer: No one under NPAS! Under plan B there is always a second aircraft to cover the south coastal areas and no requirement for either of them to be sponsered by ambo as the cost saving will have already been made else where. There are two Helimeds covering the south anyway Dunsfold and Rochester so why have a third that will drain police responce?
