Re: UK Coastguard SAR - Bristow out??
Shy Torque, Rainex on windshields, KY elsewhere.....
And for running in, this thread began with the moans of Bristow people who thought their lock on SAR was unfairly ruined by a userper aircraft, so the discussion of the several aircraft, 61's and 225's is entirely within its scope, IMHO. Regarding the "ton" of weight, it was 1300 lbs that I said, and we have found a very sizable part of that in the stuff the 225 forgot to include in its weight statement.
Running in you are right about one thing, the 139 crowd has been conspicuously silent here.
