Golf BZ - I should have been more specific, up until 2 or 3 years ago, the RAF Sea Kings had their depth maintenance conducted at St Mawgan. Following the announcement that St Mawgan was to close, the engineering setup (helicopter maintainence flight, HMF) was shutdown, instead of being relocated, and the contract for the depth work handed to DARA. The result has been delays to output dates for aircraft and an increased workload for the front line engineers. And some heaps of !!!!!e masquerading as serviceable aircraft being sent out to the frontline.
Now we are in the process of recreating HMF at Leconfield to speed up the procedure. The wheel turns once more.........
