Crab,
It doesn't matter how much you try to cover it up we all know the expert advice came from the RAF and you said SAR would be better because of it. Do I really need to start quoting you again? And now your saying the technical advice was ignored - utter rubbish and you know it but another spectacular change of story by you! You're inconsistency is now becoming legend.
Why not just except the fact that you and your RAF collegues got the interim contract badly wrong like they did with the chinooks, nimrods and countless other MOD screw ups which costs the taxpayer a fortune!
