I heard a rumour that Carson are buying S61's and Sea Kings to give them the full Carson modification - MR, TR and lifting frames with the promise of 160kt cruise, 25,000lbs AUM and no cracking.

Then they will probably sell them to the MoD who still won't have done anything about addressing the shortfall in heli lift capability and who will then have to pay twice as much for them as they would if they just got Carson in to modify our existing fleet.

If they could just stop them leaking when it rains............
