Tramps - you can be sure that no-one even considered the mechanics of a stretcher entry to the Griffin cabin before deciding it was fit for purpose

Considering it replaced the venerable Wessex and brought nothing extra to the party (and a lot less in terms of cabin space and suitability for SH tasking) it should be considered a case study in how not to procure an aircraft.

The fact that it could have been replaced last year with the 139 and wasn't is a further damnation of contract management and procurement policy with the MoD.
