I continue to be a little baffled by the comments after airframe life.

The high time North Sea S61's have over 40,000 hours.

Good quality maintenance will keep an airframe going almost for ever, spares availability is the issue.

So the purchase of second hand Super Pumas what ever their life should not be a problem.
As to availabilty, we are at war, so the government could always press gang a few!!!!!!!!!!
