Any idea how many hours now?
According to G-INFO:
31988 at 31/12/2005 (last Cof A renewal).
C of A expires 07/08/2008.
G-INFO will update then but I would expect it to be around 35000 by now (perhaps someone could update).
LD is the BHL S61 fleet leader in terms of hours. I suppose because the other aircraft of a similar age have been used on SAR for a number of years while LD has always had more intensive use.
