I think the watershed has passed us all by already. The time when there was joined up thinking has long gone.
There is a process out there called Blue Light Air Assets - Future Operations by the RUSI.
This is/was an attempt to pursue this to its logical conclusion and for some individuals it still is an aspiration.
Police/HEMS/Fire/SAR all joined up and talking to each other, sharing assets/provisions, even staff.......beautiful stuff...(in another world perhaps).
The politics have now become so enormous and burdensome that I think the gulf between each asset is now enormous.
The Police have taken a left turn into a cul de sac called: NPAS, because of the 'excuse' to save money.
The Fire Brigade are deeply financially flawed and still reeling from the PFI debacle of building white elephants all around the country that they can't occupy!
The mil have gone civvy.
And the HEMS brigade are completely fragmented, autonomous units each so far up their own charitable backsides, the lights have gone out!
Trying to co-join this lot NOW is like trying to herd cats.
If it had been gripped early enough and years and years ago, it might have resembled logic by now. As it is, in its disjointed fragmented state, it will continue to leech money and effort 3, 4, 5 times that of a national emergency services air force.
The moment has passed.......
