I certainly couldn't better that, but have been asked to take people from east anglia to Newcastle.
Sunday nights were 'fun' once two units folded, Kent never had an aircraft and the other counties machine off for servicing. 8000+ sq miles with one aircraft and 2 places for fuel......the next task seemed always to be further than the fuel state would allow without going back to base for fuel first. Lots of hours, and few results.....lots of fending off of negative comments from the control rooms when told it would be more than an hour before we could get back to base refuel and get to their job. Just to throw in a another spanner, how many units 'allow' rotors running refuels?
