Re: UK Coastguard SAR - Bristow out??

Enjoy your holiday. The certification of the floats to 11t from 10.4t was a genuine question and not a red herring. I was involved in an evaluation of the EC225 in early 2004 and it was an issue which was brought up by ECF at the time during a technical briefing and meeting in Marignane. Perhaps while you are on holiday, I will see if I can find a reference on the presentation CD purely for interest, if I can still find the CD.
