FF - Thomas Coupling is an experienced and well respected Police/HEMS pilot and he says you don't have the performance yet you maintain you do - frankly I would take his word over yours anytime.
So you have NO WINCHING EXPERIENCE but you hold court and proclaim what is and isn't feasible or sensible regarding winching - mate you are an accident waiting to happen because you won't listen. I have been doing winching and instructing it and examining it for over 25 years so I have a vague idea of what I am talking about.
Russell - 94 to 01 if you are interested, ask people from 671 if you know any.
You don't seem to understand that I don't care if FF winches or not - I just want to stop well meaning, ambitious amateurs biting off more than they can chew and hurting someone. If FF is the aviation expert advising the trustees and the ambulance service about winching then heaven help the paramedics.
