The interesting fact here is that the previous operator who ran Civil SAR successfully for 20 years told the MCA that these aircraft weren't ready for SAR.
Good to see Crab and his cronies in full rightous mode but then you should remember they form part of an organisation which wasted £2.5 billion of taxpayers money on failed projects and a organisation who Crab himself has described as suffering from "systemic incompetence " and "Our serviceability problems are the stuff of legend"!!! So don't have any faith in their ability to provide in the future.
Crab has also
admitted that "MoD were asked for guidance and expertise in examining the interim contract".
And finally Crab posted on 2 July.....
the RAF was asked by the MCA to provide technical assistance regarding the interim bid - to my knowledge this involved confirming that certain aircraft were suitable for the job
So who's to blame......perhaps Crab you need to look a little closer to home!
