Rotor Pilot -

When the S92 has suffered from a tail rotor drive failure requiring the test crew to bale out,

When the S92 suffers from a catastrophic failure caused by the rotor brake going on in flight leading to the loss of the aircraft and crew,

When the S92 has a similar occurence with an operational crew leading to the loss of the aircraft - DESPITE having corrective maintenance carried out by the manufacturer!

Then you can slag it off and praise the Merlin/Cormorant/101


It's only real plus as a SAR aircraft is it's speed and cabin capacity - as far as being an excellent winching platform....no way Jose
