Let me understand this thread again - exactly how many EC-225's will enter UK SAR service in2007? Oh that's right, none!
You lost Helicomparitor, why not just admit it?
Also, why not now explain how the crashworthy changes in your pet pig were forced on you and your company by the competitive pressure of the safer S-92? I remember how you wrote that the window size was more important than the safety in a crash! It was lame then and its lame now.
The passengers of the Bristow 225's have Sikorsky to thank for the safer design, because the French having have been forced to redesign their helicopter, and add an untested and incertified crashworthy floor and seat system, as well as hundreds of pounds to the aircraft to gain back parity with the S-92. If it were not for competition, helicomparitor's passengers would be forced to have a less safe ride, and only the kind assurances from HC that everything will be all right.
At least, by redesigning your pet pig to close the gap, you admitted how poor it was, and now the game begins anew.
