And, what you hear is just about right.

Here's another. GMP used to have a fixed wing unit flying out of Manchester Airport. NPAS closed that, then decided to do a fixed wing trial, based down at Gloucester Staverton(I think). They then discovered that the allowances/accommodation costs for the bobbies involved in the trial were becoming a bit expensive. So they moved the trial...to Manchester Airport.
