This is an interesting thread but people seem determined to slag the S92. Why? The S92 is only a new S61 or Sea King after all. New technology makes things safer for the operators.

In all this time people have pointed out the failings of the S92 but no one has mentioned 'Black Monday' the day when all bar 1 of the RAF Sea King force was 'offstate'. Or the fact that the Sea King 3A took years to get radios that worked, a workable doppler and handling that felt like you were actually flying the thing.

The S92 is not perfect yet, but it could well be the future.
