Exactly what I said earlier. However Tallstar and others have suggested that this start date for INTERIM SAR (continuation of the existing one), in the absence of 5 helos now sold off to Ireland will be nigh on impossible to achieve before 2013.
My question(s) then:
Will/does the interim SAR contract have anything to do with SARH? [Legally/operatsionally]
Does the Interim SAR contract have any effect on the out of service date of the SeaKing?
Can the new and revived (when it arrives) SARH contract be slotted into the OLD SARH time frame (especially if the number of bases drops to 7 or 8)?
