RAF Woodvale Broken Into
Chevvron, From what I have seen, your good idea has recently been put into practice
, although I have yet to see any evidence of kukris. Whether the primary motivation was as a cost and manpower saving exercise, or as a way of getting experienced (ex?)servicemen on guard duty, I don't know. What their chances would be against a surprise attack by eight or so thugs with firearms, if the ghurkas are unarmed, one can only speculate.
The standard response from Chief Constables, at the non-availability of their helicopter is, 'Cover will be maintained by the helicopters from neighbouring constabularies'. In this case, an exercise by the people who specialise in such things
, to demonstrate the ease with which, say, five police helicopters across adjoining counties could be disabled simultaneously, could be the wake up call that is needed to get the helicopters the level of protection which their effectiveness against criminals demands.

Hi Mechta,
Of course all that is needed is protection along the lines of Khe Sahn, Camp Bastion, Crossmaglen, Bessbrook etc
Why can't everyone else see it the way you do?
Because they have their reality cereal for breakfast each morning along with that nice smelling coffee!
Sleep safe,

p.s. Do you have fridge magnets on your planet?

Mechta;
Isn't it ironic that both Merseyside and W.Mids are the 2 forces that have shunned these TV shows?
Clearly a little knowledge goes a long way Mechta, let us know when you leave our solar system
...I do wonder about the people who buy our law enforcers helicopters, put programmes on the TV every night to show how effective they are against the lowlifes...

Something strange going on then airpolizei,
Merseyside don't feature on the Chopper Coppers production list!
BFI | Film & TV Database | CHOPPER COPPERS
But if that's what you saw...and it was in colour...it must have been so!
And if it was so, I hardly think that the attack was made to prevent further adventures into the delicate and precise art of Curry eating!

but I recall Merseyside featuing in Chopper Coppers.
Chopper Coppers was made in 1999,
The Merseyside 135 was delivered to the Air Support group on 16 August 2002, becoming fully operational on the 29 August 2002.
Bonus for the baddies then.
Based on the old footage of the Squirrel you refer to, they managed to disable aircraft with much better kit on board.
Along the lines of your car boot tale... I once found myself in Berlin Tegel to pick up the General +1 and take them to an ex location in Poland.
Having to get into the terminal to meet Gen. from his flight, I had security problems with the aircrew survival knife attached to my combat trouser leg. After a short period of discussion and examination I happily left it at the desk to be collected when on the way back to my aircraft.
The same security conscious desk jockey, after returning the knife, then gave us a hard time getting airside as the Gen +1 didn't have 'sufficient ID.
However, the situation was rapidly resolved when he noticed the pistol, on open view on my LCJ, attached around my neck with a pretty obvious light coloured lanyard and we were hastily ushered to the ac before the security boss returned.
We then launched into the night and Polish airspace...and that as they say became a different adventure!

Our friend was 'working-up' his display as I was attending Lynx Conversion, and I was invited to see the move from the inside; unfortunately the DS wouldn't let me.
A nicer bloke you couldn't hope to meet.

No need for security in the past
I remember a certain pilot driving a bulldozer into the mast by the Mess and
another rolling his lovely Lancia Beta on the runway.
The only danger then was from inside the wire!
