philrigger....

Yes I do agree that the Super Puma would have been more expensive but we could have SAVED £300M for all the operational value that this unnecessary and ill thought out mod programme is worth!
However, I'm sure that the pro rata 'bangs per buck' for a Super Puma buy would have been impressive and very effective especially in the current theatres......... AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A BIG PLUS IN PUMA MORALE AND USER CONFIDENCE.
I say again this mod is both unnecessary and an almost complete waste of tax payer's money.
But there again WTF do I know I've only operated the Puma for 40 odd years.....
