Is there a plan B+ that might give Norfolk any air support?

Not all aircraft are equal, therefore not all base circles are the same size.

Example, 135P2+ takes around 5 minutes to get up and taxiing (2 stage start to the PWs and lots of avionic and role kit to get on-line), 135T2+ takes around 2 minutes.

The Npas mandate states that the aircraft will be at 126mph in the task direction 2 minutes after task acceptance This was how the deal was sold to Cambs police authority to lose their aircraft (google Cambs PA pdf).
