I may not have posted for ages now but I am still monitoring! This is all very sad.
When I think back to the early years of this new millenium, we still had independant but inter related units staffed by 1st class professional UEO's, enthusiastic and highly motivated Police Air observers ( can't get used to the TFO term). Our Pilots too, not only highly motivated but keen to add value to the Police Air Support scenario. UK Police Aviation was then quite literally leading the world.
Then came along NPAS and Winsor. I predicted then, what is happening now, it cost me my job, but I have no regrets, except perhaps that being able to say "I told you so" gives me no satisfaction whatsoever.
