Graham Smith | 16:10 UK time, Wednesday, 11 April 2012

Also on the Department for Transport website is the short list of bidders for search and rescue helicopter services, coming soon to helipads at Culdrose, Chivenor and Portland. Among the names I recognise are Bond (police, air ambulances), Babcock (Devonport dockyard) and British International Helicopters (Isles of Scilly.) Once upon a time I would have expected the Yeovil-based company Westlands to be keen on this; but there's no mention of AgustaWestland on the DfT list. Winners due to be announced early next year.
