A pattern is forming.
For the same reasons the government in power at the time gives the "impression" it is struggling to fund the NHS, when in actual fact it desperately wants privatisation to 'save the day', so, too is NPAS being driven into the ground by the powers to be until or unless it is privatised or becomes a charity or until the budget is stopped.
To speed matters up, you employ a mercenary with absolutely no aviation experience or business acumen to lead it.
The government works in mysterious ways.......
Rotate too late hit the nail on the head: NPAS has dipped below critical mass - will it recover?
There is now only one aviator left on the board.....what does that say for police aviation in the UK?
{I can accept the demise of an already sick animal - but police aviation grew from nothing in the 80's to (one could argue) one of the best in Europe, possibly the world. The best pilots, the best cops, the best aircraft, the best equipment).
And now it's been allowed to go lame and there is no imperative to heal it.}
