I am receiving a lot of assistance. I can't disclose everything here for obvious reasons but if any former Herc crew can help it would certainly be most welcome. I fear that this specific type of self-protection has been overlooked over a range of ac including helos for a number of years. I know it is painful to keep this subject high profile but I still do not believe the Military has sufficiently learnt a very big lesson. We intend to keep beavering away until we can be certain that the required self-protection is in place.
Cheers,
Nige
