"2 minutes to allow the aircraft to get airborne from the base."

This is assuming the heli is outside in a secure enviroment. At some of the proposed bases, e.g. Redhill, it will have to be hangered after each flight unless they are prepared to either build a fortress or provide guards. The hangar too will need some serious protection when staff go home.
