Nick,
As long as you use words like: "a sub-standard 1985 model" to describe Merlin, you are in real danger of making yourself look like a narrow minded fool (and you're clearly not that), or like an unscrupulous and cynical shill for Sikorsky (and you're accusing others of shilling for Lockheed in a way that makes it sound as though you don't approve of such prevarication, so presumably you're not one of those).
So why do you use such foolish and deliberately provocative language?
And I suppose a fully qualified Presidential VIP S-92 is ready now?
