Which rotary type are CX operating then

It always annoyed me that the RAF are out-of-step with the civilians in this respect. After all, whoever signs for the aeroplane is fully in-command as it moves under it's own power during taxiing. Furthermore, if the aircraft is damaged whilst taxiing it seems that even more wrath is unleashed on the captain than would be the case for any other stage of the operation. Yet, no credit is gained for safe execution of this phase. I've had some decidedly tense moments whist taxiing at unfamiliar, dark, contaminated airports. Not life-threatening, just pension-threatening!
