S92 Sar

Trog et al,

It's true that the Agbami contract includes the provision of a fully equiped SAR S92. The first S92 to arrive will be a utility aircraft and it will be followed approx one year later with the SAR machine. The delay in the second aircraft is due to the amount of mods necessary. The aircraft will not be some "mickey mouse" lash up but the full SAR version as seen in Europe. One and possibly two other oil companies have come on board with CNL, and when (if) the other majors join them there should then be a second SAR machine brought in to country. With dedicated crews and 24 hours cover this should then see the end of night stand by in Nigeria.
