And that is to all the Sea Kings not just 2 or 3 like Bristows.
Not sure what you're implying there but all the CG S61s have FLIR fitted for the role.
The rest sounds like a p***ed off crew who got called second! Let's face it the RAF can hardly call foul on that when their aircraft are regularly performing taskings outside their respective patches! All in all a little bit off subject.
And to Dillion the Dog nobody on the CG units know much about the A139 or the S92 because nobody has given them any accurate information about the aircraft. As usual the guys on the front line were never consulted before the choice was made. The units are all very in the dark about what is happening with the aircraft and everything else... and the clock is running down!
