Exleckie - is the outfit and contract you are referring to 84 Sqn by any chance? Not UK based with about 1% of the jobs of a UK flight and no overwater night capability beyond that which the Wessex had. Not exactly a fair comparison. It is an SH sqn with a very limited SAR remit and as far as I am aware, the number of engineers has been increased to maintain the contracted serviceability levels.
