an ammused bystander
Chaps, a thought - if all people are interested in is redundancy then their commitment to 'serve Queen and Country' is looking a little dubious - might try the TGWU instead, the remainder would be welcomed into the Army I am sure. As for the Army taking on the minority of the remainder of UK forces rotary, it would probably please them that they get the larger vote considering that they hold a greater number of the craft than the other 2 put together, probably quite board of being dictated to by a minority. On a more factual note - the Army has more rotary instructors at the training establishments if that answers the question of who trains the pilots.
Not qualified to comment on the FJ world but the Ausie model seems to work??
