CRAB - so which is it then??
Carlos - thanks for the information - there is no doubt that the extra speed and range of the EH101 make it a good long-range overwater SAR machine but in UK only a small percentage of our rescues fall into that category.
I notice on the RCS tote today that there is no night wet winching capability likely for the 139 before March, is it the software issue that is causing the delays or the lights?
Either way you seem miss informed. I assume you have experience of both???? Or is it all based on 'rumour'!! Merlin or EH 101 is a vey good SAR platform compared to the Sea King. Having operated both I know which I'd rather have - and it isn't yellow or red & grey.
