This is demonstrated by the crews allotted for the various tasks allocated to the detatchment that day.
The two experienced Chinook Pilots were allocated to the in-theatre support tasks and the inexperienced (on Chinook) RN Pilot was allocated (with an RAF Navigator) to the VIP task.
I do not follow this line of argument.
Is it not more appropriate to allocate your experienced crew to the higher threat in theatre tasks and put the less experienced crew onto the low threat out of theatre A to B trip.
