- - Vic Police Air Wing On The Move? (https://www.pprune.org/rotorheads/210635-vic-police-air-wing-move.html)

Now back to the real rumours. Things going well at MB, looks like Lindsay may be out foxed by the guys down south. Seems the Inspector went for a drive to check things out. Sparkling new hangar at the back door of Aldi !! . All they need then is a Doughnut King.

What is in the rumours that the AS350 is actually to be replaced with an EC135 and that all future jobs will all require twin time as opposed to previous requirements?

Wow, what is with all the trucks filing past the front door of Vicpol and dumping their load up the northern end? Preparing for the next installment of "Fields" or is it run off from the freeway fix-up/bypass?

Is there truth in the rumour that another pilot has resigned from the Air Wing? My usual contact is away so can one of you at PAW confirm this? Does this mean that PAW will be looking for more pilots soon?

As to the trucks rolling past the Air Wing...nothing to do with the Air Wing but rumour is that PAW is being squeezed out of their location and that Linfox (owners of EN) have offered new premises but at grossly more rent (double or so).

And as to the AS350 replacement...last I heard was that it was being replaced with a light twin...EC135 maybe as my mate in QR told me that senior pilot PAW and CHC reps went to QR to check over the EC135 and fly it around late last year!!
