So then CHC and the MCA are the way forward for UK SAR - and neither of them thought having no lights under the aircraft might be a safety issue for night rescues
Nice to see both parties trying to put their positive spin on what is frankly a disaster:
- brand new contract with brand new aircraft which should be the blueprint for the future of UKSAR
- aircraft delivered not up to full spec but pushed into service anyway because they thought they could get away with it during the short nights of Summer.
- Winter draws in and the crews realise the management and manufacturers are not really trying to rectify the situation.
- crews cry foul since it is their asses on the line and force an embarrassing climbdown by management
- everyone shouts at everyone else, especially the A part of AW.
What a fantastic advertisement for SARH - not!
