You started it!

I was just suggesting that there are other things out there not necessarily CH 47 shaped. No commercial outfit could afford to use a CH47 (remember the North Sea) but there are a few other types that will do. Remember the point is to free up the frontline assets by doing the donkey work elsewhere, it could be in the same theatre, alongside the other assets, but half the time it’s movement of men and kit around the place that is in short supply.

As you can see by my handle I have an idea or two on other assets but that is because I have worked on Eurocopters all over the world and have some in mind! No not the 365 before you ask!

Speaking of which mine is due home from a rig near Blackpool in about 20 minutes so I must go and put the kettle on!
