Wonder if they will have marinised the Pumas for Cyprus and added a wet-fit floor?

Will they convert 84 Sqn crews to Puma or take Puma crews and teach them SAR?

Wonder who will provide the engineering in both places since Draken have effectively wound up their rotary business with the closure of the Academy at Newquay.

Hueymeister - the 212's in Brunei are well past their sell-by date and have lots of serviceability issues. The 412s in Cyprus get the job done but were never an upgrade for the Wessex they replaced.
