Dear Mr.
Crab
If this was not a public Forum, I could provide you with some other interesting details about others very mature helicopters that have failed miserably in operations, NOT in development or testing phases.
Just as few hints:
- HINTS DELETED DUE TO MODERATOR'S INTERVENTION
Nobody ever made such a thing as a "failure proof " helicopter.
As far as I am concerned, for the role of the venerable "Sea King" there is no better replacement then the Merlin.
I am not part of the decision-making team so here is, also as far as I am concerned, where this thread ends. I am not in a mood to let myself being sued by someone that might not like my opinion about this matter.
I know a thing or two about what is going on in the industry. Being around for a while
Thanks anyway for expressing your views. I always appreciate to hear other people's opinions.
