What can we do that Bristows can't
Hmmmm, lets think, ahh yes here it is!
Bristows conduct COASTGUARD search and rescue, that means that they can't go any further inland than is required to transfer patient/casualty to civvie support services. 5 miles seems to spring back to mind. Classic case in the Hebredies a while ago, said bristows cab was to transfer a patient to a military cab at Plockton. Military cab was re-tasked and the Bristows machine continued on to Glasgow. Kiddie saved, pilot sacked! Civvies don't like flying in mountains on dark ****ty nights. Even less than AEO like coming out of their comfy offices. (AEO's would NEVER fly, they know how its really been maintained!)
