Thank you for your inputs. We note in Hong Kong that Turbomeca were quick off the mark with the marketing and had guys in town within weeks of the order. PW perhaps do not need the sale, it is such a small part of their operation.
I have seen on another thread ref the choice in the Squirrel, the Turbomeca units were criticised as being very expensive when they go wrong - especially to replace, whereas the Alison/RR units were much cheaper.
Anyone have any comparisons or stories about maintenance of the PW versus the Turbomeca?
Or any other facts, rumour or scuttlebut gratefully received.
