Night Watchman has hit the nail on the head, things have moved on in recent years and things are hopefully a lot more professional.

If the rumours about Bond pay are true, what self respecting SAR pilot or crewman is going to jump ship to join an outfit with no REAL SAR pedigree, which is clearly being run on a shoe string?

The Jigsaw crew at Helitech explained that they had to modify the SAR autohover control in the cabin as the standard Eurocopter system needed a crewman with 3 hands- there are some ugly crewmen around but very few with 3 hands! Where will BP get all that kit from, will Bristows cut their own throat and sell the design?

I bet the CAA and HSE are watching BP very carefully.
