"It appears you're more likely on here to get mistakenly fragged for making accusations when you are in fact just asking a question."
What a strange reaction handyandyuk.
DeepC asked a question and has been given balanced and informed replies. Oops 78 may have been slightly blunt in the way he put it, but surely it's a fair point that a casual observer looking on disapprovingly may not know all the facts of the situation? And Oops took the trouble to give a full and informed explanation.
I'm surprised you think DeepC should contact a SAR unit if he wants the 'right' answer rather than ask on Rotorheads. A total stranger telephoning or e-mailing any 'official' body is likely to get the formal 'official' answer, but he's much more likely to get the 'right' (= true) answer by asking here where off-duty professionals can respond informally and more freely because of the anonymous nature of the forum.
