So the Navy boys will be trying to secure the blades manually on a rolling heaving deck in a storm. Outstanding.
Totaly ill-conceived waste of the tax-payer's money.
I am also led to believe that the entry level training helicopter for up and coming new MRH90 and Tiger pilots is going to be either EC135/A109 twins as we no longer need to teach them how to fly just twiddle knobs and wear funny looking flying fish bowl helmets.
You have got to be joking
