Was this particular aircraft the "compensation" aircraft when CHC blew up the UK SAR bid by "engaging" a person with a possible conflict of intrest and is not reflective of the standard of fit on the 3 x busted ass 10 year old machines recently imported from the UK in a desperate attempt to try and persuade RAAF that despite flying 30 year old machines on the contract, they do actually have the best interest of RAAF at heart?....draws deep breath...gotta write shorter sentences...
