Apparently South Yorkshire are getting a better service according to the "present" Chief Constable.
South Yorkshire chopper change is ?for the better? - Local - The Star
Chief Constable Crompton said: “Our own helicopter is being serviced and under the old system it would have meant no cover, however being part of NPAS we have been loaned one - we now have cover where we would not have done.
“I can say categorically we now get a better helicopter service than we used to because we now have cover 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
“In the past we had cover available on average for half of the week.”
What they don`t say is why their helicopter is taking so long to service!!!! (which has nothing to do with MD spares)
