The little ec 135 from Newcastle wan't be any use regarding range and serving a wider area in Scotland. Fuel management has been proven to be difficult enough for the Glasgow based helicopter. However, the French style police 145 with NVG and a winch would make lot of sense for Police Scotland air support and the local mountain rescue teams if based in the central belt, perhaps the Clyde heliport, of course not based in Newcastle. And you don't need to call out the big ships all the time for taking just one disorientated and exhausted hill walker off a mountain top.
Once you stop laughing, get off the floor, think about it!

Edit: I am sure I will become familiar with the Bristow scheme once it is fully established and operating from the new bases.
