I'll drop down to the SS way of dissecting the posts;
Of course I cannot argue with the stats you highlight, but may I suggest that you try and go to your nearest AAC Lynx/Gazelle unit and compare the size of Gazelle/Lynx incident signal folders!
Apples and Bananas. The Gazelle has approx 6 moving parts (two of those being the bloke in the right hand seat!). If you had some time on the cab, you would surely know that the majority of those signals from the Lynx regard AFCS niggles. Not exactly a show stopper as you may know).
I think you'll find it was hyd3failure who questioned maintenancestandards when he said.....
But it was you, SS, who yet again posted the 'conclusive evidence to the Lynx widow making properties' by posting the full and unequivocal list of Lynx accidents (from a media source!?!).
Of course I'm not questioning handling abilities, but 'Lynx Bites'.
But the list of accidents posted by you included such mishandling occurrences without a clarifying caveat? Point to fit your argument that the cab is unsafe? Sensationalising possibly?
Mmmm, because I have never flown any one of them perhaps.
What makes you such an authority on the Lynx? Have you been a 'crash test dummy' via Lynx? I.e., crashed. The comparison is similar. Knowledge dispels fear.
Yes I am concerned about safety, as you should be and as for 'chipping in for the sake of an argument'.......We know each other right.
I shall ask again, in what regard are you concerned about safety with the Lynx? Design, maint or lack of handling skills by crews? We do know each other and I am quite disappointed as I never saw this particular side of you.
Now, back to wirecutters, which is where the thread was going or was that not a provocative enough subject
I'm sure you can use google to find all the answers you need on the subject. Failing that, pop up to EGXD and ask the blokes who may want to make you a brew. If I were you, I wouldn’t hold your breath for too long though mate. Life may be brighter on the outside but its still dark and cosy on the inside.
I shall add an edit as SS just has!
But then again, we can always go back to the anti SS bandwagon!! Well, it is Friday night and the glass of cider has been consumed.
I dont think its a campaign of anti SS. Its just that your posts are a bit 'different' in a way that Johnathan King had 'different' ideas. We know whats right, they know whats right, its a shame he didnt see it the same way!
(banter, banter, banter).
Additional edit.
I'm sure ir's easier to ambush an AH with a 'MANPAD' than a length of HD wire held between 2 poles.
SS, can you find the details on t'internet regarding design criteria of thickness of wires that AH can cut? If not, then there is prob a reason for it. FOI is a good thing but sometimes it aint.
