At risk of dragging this thread back to it's original topic -
Can anyone in the know confirm which helos in the RN carry observers? I've looked through the RN website and the literature I was given whilst applying but there are some discrepancies between different publications/web pages. So far it seems that they all agree the following do carry observers:
Lynx Mk8
Sea King ASaC
Merlin Mk1
But the following I'm not sure about:
Lynx AH.7
Sea King Mk4
Sea King Mk5
Also, if one day I should decide to pursue an ATPL after leaving, would the skills gained and hours spent observering count for anything in the same way an ex-military pilot who is doing an ATPL might only need to certain parts of the course?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
