Is it me or are the stats 'skewed' towards the S-92
It's not you. The ROA is just the most glaring example of how the press release is economical with the truth. And to achieve the stated 260nm ROA for the S-92, the aux tanks need to be fitted, which wasn't the case when the S-92 debuted at Stornoway - resulting in the very perverse situation where, at least once, a Sea King from Lossie staged through Stornoway en route to 15 West because the S-92 couldn't go as far out!
