Manchester Police
Can anybody tell me how many aircraft the Police in Manchester have and if they're still all based at Barton?
(Somebody on here mentioned that they have 3... is that true?)
Cheers

3 is technically correct. One old 902, one new one replacing it at Barton and an Islander based at Manchester International.

The new 902 was still firmly esconced in the PAS hangar at Staverton being completed on Monday of this week. And when that is delivered, the old one goes to.... hmm... an EMS operation close to London, perhaps?
Thus the maximum available is one Islander and one Explorer, so any hint of a total of 3 is technically correct from the ownership point of view but in operational terms is a pipedream

Well that's just daft, the whole idea of the "High Conspicuity" paint scheme is dark sides and underneath, bright on top. That's just being different for the sake of being different, and ignoring the HO advice.

Come on P..l, haven't you been there too long? Isn't it time to move on and make way for some younger, fresher ideas and catch up with the rest of the country.

Target left works for us, the pilot has to work a bit harder, the camera operator gets to work a bit easier. Swings and roundabouts
