What type of fixed wing aircraft are replacing the existing helicopters being removed from service, if any?
The above was my question. I asked it because the map to which I made reference noted that some areas were beyond the range of the helicopter units that will remain. Sid got so carried away trying to cause an argument that he glossed over the question, as he then said, because he can't answer it. Most folk just say nothing when they can't provide an answer.

Once the criminal fraternity realise that certain areas don't get timely air support, watch what happens next. I am very much in favour of more police helicopter units being left in place and not replaced by fixed wing, or not at all. Again, that is why I asked my question. But maybe some police pilots would prefer a redundancy package instead of a job.

I can't understand Sid's logic either. He says one thing in one sentence then contradicts himself in the next!

So , disregarding Sid's ramblings, can anyone provide an answer to my qustion?
