NVG

There is a lot of argy bargy on this site about whether military or civil standards, procdures are best. Someone wisely said that there was good on both sides and that both can learn from each other. Some of the vitriol is surprising as there has been a good deal of move from the mil to the civvy side of late.

One area where there is a big difference though is NVG. If the SARH units crewed by commercial operators cannot use NVG then that would be a big reduction in capability. Are they going to be allowed to use them?

60 Sqn at Shawbury have some civilian crews and use NVG but that is due to the COMR arrangement I understand. NVG are not black magic but the rules need to be in place.
