Still Flying

40 odd and Aeromys - well there was a dark coloured helicopter scrambled (if thats the right term!) of of Clyde Heliport last night about 6pm, I say scrambled as it headed North East over Glasgow - some fast response police cars also heading that way at the same time causing chaos, I was sitting on the Kingston Bridge in a traffic jam watching it.

I assume Bond need continuity of service, wonder how that works if they rob then from other areas.

Believe it or not, when at Uni we had to study the Strathclyde Helicopter deal in accountancy, as it was complete farce financially due to a fundamental error by the Council. I know that on this one Clyde Helicopters had the main helicopter exclusively for the police plus first dibs on another two, and ultimately it was one of the replacements, I think in Irn Bru or Radio Clyde livery that crashed at Eastwood Toll with fatalities in 1990. So I had assumed Bond would have required similar fleet resilience.
