If there is a call for longlining in BA , they will not have to look very far, Pelita, the Indonesian company have an operation north of Medan on Sumatra, they operate 332s for Mobil [ I assume they are still there ]
Okanagan had a crew over there in the late 80s teaching the Pelita pilots to Longline, some of them turned out to be naturals.
When the Okie crews finished, one of the expat pilots there was selected to be the training pilot for longlining.
Any of the guys over there in Aceh seen any Pelita aitcraft, haven't heard any mention of them.
AR, The Bristow machines on SAR have autohover and all the other goodies, but I doubt if the RAF or RN Seakings have.
As you know the Military are not held in high esteem in Canadian civillian aviation circles, I was trying to point out that that is not the case in other countries.
Cheers,
