Crab,
I know it will come as a shock to you...but all things British are not necessarily superior to all other things...as all things American are not superior to all others.
I also suggest your concept of relative quality is a bit prejudiced as demonstrated by prior statements you have made....and had challenged by your very own colleagues.
A simple example is your diatribe about "Rescue Swimmers" a while back.....I dare say a discussion of helicopter Air-Air refuelling capabilities by SAR assets would not be a topic you would care to go into when assessing relative merits of SAR units.
Just because an outfit uses different techniques and procedures to your own....does not make them inferior by any means.
Who knows Crab....it just might be yours that are still in Wellington's Time mode.
