I suspect the Peel objection is just an attempt to scupper the proposed new base so they have to move back on to Peel-owned land.
Sorry to post twice in succession but say for example a very serious incident - well most helicopter call puts are.
If imagine an order to turn away and go around , E.g. KLM1499 ( Whatever) turn right 130 climb 3000 etc ..
Emergency priority?
Police chopper may have to wait but for life and limb.
Besides I thought they had bases at other Airports? Leeds? Or is it now the former Sheffield airport?.
