Expand HEMS role

simple - bolt on a sensor, duct tape the wiring and now you have S&HEMS.
CBT whilst hanging about the crew room will cover the FLIR training.
YAA are already talking about fitting a winch so add an 'R'
S&RHEMs
Make it a silent 'H' as everyone knows by now that only helicopters come to the rescue....
You could argue that the 'E' is duplication as such tasks are not done for pleasure so it is always an Emergency.
S&RMS looks ungainly and the '&' is tricky and therefore makes name badges more expensive so replace with a stock letter like an 'A'
SARMS - looking familiar yet?
Will not be long before Bristows bid for the NPAS contract........

Excellent result with the Bodmin Moor case - how come they always appear to be found there?
I would have gone straight there ;-)
Tongue slightly in cheek but why not?
Also removes the often-cited tax-payer justification for retaining the copper chopper.
