Nice to see a journo at Bastion and happy with the call for more helos (AH first to support the SH), but the age thing is a bit of a red herring. As far as I know, availability of the deployed ac has been adequate for the task and serviceability has been more a factor of the conditions than any age-related problems.
BN may be old, but she is still a very capable machine!!!
