Interesting comment Hilife, however
it’s also interesting to note that CHC have subsequently ordered SAR EC225’s for Norway contracts, and not the S92.
This has occurred post CHC wining the UK’s Coast Guards interim contract where they are using the S92 at Sumbrough and Stornoway. If the S92 is CHC’s SAR platform of choice, then why change? Was there a change of heart post the Halifax incident?
I’ve seen one of these new SAR 225’s, and a lot of thought, investment and technology has been applied to them.

I’ve not seen any orders for SAR S92’s lately.
