The fundamental issue that has been missed is that policing has to be done with a certain amount of style. There are few things that will instill confidence in the public more, than those lovely little retractable wheels popping out in the low hover, just before touchdown. Then, when the observer steps out in suitably Gucci kit to right wrongs and defeat evil he will have something of an advantage.
Must say though, seems a barmy choice, and if things are so critical in the crime mecca of Dyfed Powys thenn perhaps they should have gone for something even bigger, like a dauphin??
