Oh dear, this really couldn't have come at a worse time for the SARH process but it does highlight another limitation of civilian SAR compared to military
Max and Branhuie - it is strange that when I mentioned dodgy Bristows operating practices in other SAR threads I was immediately flamed by all and sundry and told I was making it up - not so it would seem, ne c'est pas?
Maybe not so much has changed - the RCS tote showed Sumburgh off state yesterday due to 'crew sickness' - not quite the transparency expected from a new and better contractor!
What will happen post 2012 when you have to do lots more night flying to keep current NVG overland? 6 crews per flight???
