I have been told that the level of pilots required from here on in is unlikely to fall. A handful were put out in the market when Norfolk and Cambridgeshire closed down and that is about all that was needed to lean up the overall picture.
As for Alex Marshall's reply to the question about Plymouth - his easy answer was 'exactly the same as today' but as a front man in this operation that easy reply simply eluded him.....
It is noteworthy that the TV reporter was equally well briefed [by someone from Rotorheads no doubt] and came in all guns blazing on the questions.
This is Day 1 of the rest of our lives. It may work out fine.
