The aircraft is going to be used purely for SAR, not troop lifting, underslinging or anything military!
You might want to re-examine the ITT again to see the flaws in that statement.
I would like the IPT to canvas ALL SAR crew on ALL SAR Bases (Airforce,Navy and Coastguard) on what they would like to see in this new contract.
Ask 4 aircrew and you'll get 5 opinions! Do you really think a multi million pound contract is going to be awarded on the opinions of the workers?
If the IPT need expertise from the front line then so be it. Only don't forget that Crab is not the only expert, there are some pretty experienced Crews on the MCA contract as well
Have the MCA or RN been approached to supply expertise? Stop picking on poor old Crab.
