I read the following question posted on another bulletin board
http://rescuers.mywowbb.com/forum1/29.html and figured some of the SAR boys that visit pprune could answer.
Can anyone shed any light on what will happen in the future with transporting fire crews to vessels in trouble. Currently the military or the coastguard, using large Sea Kings or S61`s with a high payload and ample cabin space are used. It`s just that i hear that when CHC take over, if i`m correct, they will be using a smaller platform, which although has a higher range and speed performance will surely struggle with volume of numbers. Any feedback would be good.
Interesting point me thinks - will there be enough room in an AW139 to carry an offshore firefighting team and kit?
