If so, what basis do you have for that comment, and what region (yours) are you comparing it to. Do you have figures please?
No. I was saying I don't know about Hampshire..!
Although I'm led to believe Alex Marshals Hampshire force have never run their own air support unit, so it was always a curious choice for the NPAS lead.
I do hear tales and rumours of certain, southern units not turning a blade for days on end and not being able to deploy to jobs unless specifically requested to go. ie not being able to self-deploy. If that's the case then it's no wonder Mr marshal sees some spare capacity that can be trimmed.
But no, no figures, just rumour. As per the title of the website..
