So there is an opportunity here for someone with a faster ,more economic modern helicopter to fill the need.There is obviously demand.After all who wants to spend three hours in the Atlantic approaches to Scilly?
Where to base it is the issue.BIH tried and failed to set up a new base close to the main road and rail route north of Penzance but the locals weren't sympathetic..Newquay was too far for the venerable S-61 and Lands End too far for the passengers ?
And what helicopter ? Already paid for AS332L ? Nice new AW139 ? S-92 ?

Ideas from our Cornish friends ?
