does anyone think the UK should use a couple of strategically placed ch53's for long distance offshore rescues solely? 1000 litres an hour for up to seven hours max?
If the arguement is that big metal is neccessary I cannot see why that type of machine is not represented to some degree
When the USAF had H-53's based in the UK, the interval between rescue calls could be measured in years. The S-61 was adequate for almost everything that didn't require aerial refueling.
