I presume that means that because they don't produce anything, or sell anything that they can charge VAT on, then they aren't allowed to be VAT registered. The VAT office doesn't like paying out more than they get in.

You would be amazed by some of the places they do land when they have to. On a number of occasions I've seen them land on public roads with bankings and trees on both sides.

These pictures shows one of the easier landings:

On a funny note (off topic I know), but you will notice that the police officer in black has a gun on his leg. Well they sent the ARV because there were no paramedics close by. And the firearms officers are traind to paramedic level...in case they shoot someone!
