But who will pay for that upgrade? That is the issue behind this.

The NHS built their HLS to cope with air ambulance not SAR since that is their primary 'customer' so why should they pay extra to accommodate occasional visits from SAR?

Maybe they need 189s all round if this is going to be a big issue. Not that I think many driving the S-92 are going to want to trade-down to the Leonardo product
