Jigsaw,
Firstly, any info on the Miller aircraft being grounded due weather earlier this month? Also, the unservicability (a hydraulics problem?) which caused it to return to Aberdeen.
Secondly, you say it provided cover during the 60kt storms, excellent, however, if you started a Puma in 60kts on an offshore deck your a braver person than me. Did you shut it down in 60kts, or take it to the beach?
Finally, are you Lord Melchet using a pseudonym? Cause you certainly sound like him.
Chopperman.
