RE Strapon.....Very Sorry! SAR do a fantastic job...
A big sorry to those guys who took offence to my last post. In no way do i think what the SAR guys/Girls do is in the least bit "stupid" it was a cheap attempt at a flipant remark in order to gain favour through, admittedly poor humour.
Its a fair point that i came across as a total arse but following flying scholarship and UAS i thought this sort of "banter" would be ok. Fair enough it wasnt.
As for asking about operational "add ons" in a public forum the sqd ldr at my screening interview suggested i try this angle. Ill obviously try another one.
Once again , if my foot does in fact get firmly stuck in my mouth whilst out at sea, ill by more than happy to to see that big "stupid yellow helicopter" maybe i should apply for dope on a rope instead of pilot.
Sorry again.:o
