Nik Nak - they do not have the same night capability (especially overland) nor do they hold a second standby so how can you compare like with like and say we cost too much. I don't know if the S61 has the same over-water IMC capability as the Sea King (operating below safety altitude and carying out letdowns to vessels IMC) but I suspect this would require exemptions from the ANO.
