The rumour I have heard from DHFS is that 5 FBH MEARW Instructors are being made redundant and that 2 of 11 Griffin are being sold. If 2 x Griffin are to go then the present fleet of S-I-X-T-Y R-U-L-E O-K (11 helicopters) will need to loose two letters. The quick fix would be to loose O & K but there must be a Ppruner who can lose two letters and rearrange the fleet to befit something more appropriate for todays Rotary School of Excellence.
On a more serious note; 5 staff and two cabs in percentage of overall fleet terms is quite draconian, especially as normally civilian contracts are paid for up front. But if FBH are finals for the history book with the advent of MFTS Rotary it could be that goodwill has long gone in favour of 'Thats business'.
