Firstly, I'm not having a go at Freeride, I'd just like to pose a question to those in the know. (If Jigsaws' around, please don't give me the standard Bond rhetoric).
If there is any potential that this project can expand this can olny be a good thing for the industry.
Quite right, I couldn't agree more, anything that brings jobs to the industry is good news, my concern is that the project is not totally viable. So...
As for aircraft limits, if you knew anything, you would know that the aircraft actually deployed to Aberdeen where it maintained standby in winds of less than 55 kts for the few crew change flights that were able to continue.
Very sensible. As we all know, (well, all us Puma drivers at least), Pumas don't fare well offshore in high winds when they are shutdown. However, can someone tell me what standby cover the Miller has when the aircraft is deployed to Aberdeen? Does one of the Brae standby vessels cover for it by any chance?
