Whoaaaa there Sandblaster!

Ask all the questions you want but don't bring up the decling of a mission due to weather as something that has to be explained.

Treading on shaky ground there.

You are very correct however I stand by my Question
4. How many times have missions been knocked back because of weather constraints?
This tender has been decided on the bases that Service capability is not at a level that is required for a modern fleet. The CEO Ambulance and I believe the Health minister have said that we need biger faster helicopter with longer range and better weather capabilities.

So my question is, what is the total number of missions that helicopters decline because of weather restraints. I am not saying that declining missions because of weather restraints is poor practice I would like to know if there is a need for larger bigger machines with longer capabilities enabling them to hold the fuel load for any given destination.
