240,
Removed as it was a thread too close to the spate of weekend deaths of UK personnel and the 'hypothetical' link between recent deaths in AFG that could be as a direct result of lack for those on the ground to use the option to fly/ re-supply by SH (as per Bosnia/ NI) was in itself too soon to family's that may be viewing the thread.
Now though I don't think you need random people like us to silently scream in despair on back water threads like this as eventually (and fortunately) the British people and media are not as stupid as some would like them to be and now the British public (whether they support the political intent of Afghanistan or not) now recognise the direct link between sufficient Support Helicopter lift v body bags.
