Silsoe, under Plan B Brighton gets two aircraft cover in less than 20 minutes as opposed to the NPAS plan of one aircraft.

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.
Great, when the next round of savings need to be made, that's that sorted then!
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!
Isn't the prime role of a Police Officer to save life and protect property?
In your scenario the joint Police/Helimed ac is doing just that. If it was purely a police ac and the local Helimed was elsewhere, the police ac could still be called to that same job....a police task (without the financial assistance)
Oh by the way have you heard that NPAS plan to have all four SE region bases working 0800 - 0300hrs. With only the MPS covering 24hrs with one aircraft. Where's the 24 hr service NPAS is promising the PA's when that MPS cab will not be allowed out of London between 3- 8am.
Please post a link to back up that information.
I know of a group of people that will be warming up their RS4's, Subarus and R32 Golfs at 3am. Do you??
No, but if what you say ref the Met is true, I know a group of people that will be warming up
someone elses RS4's, Subarus and R32 Golfs at 3am.
