Rumour has it (after all this is pprune) that the front runners for long SAR, are:
Bristows, CHC and Bond. It seems no-one else is keen..........................
If they are the
front runners then that implies there are others. if not they are surely just the
runners.....then again it is just a rumour
Its an interesting twist to the competition this time with the ability to bid for one or both of the 'parts'. Time will tell whether half or all is more popular but I assume there are significant technical and commercial benefits to DfT by having a two type fleet provided by different contractors?
I think this soap opera has many more episodes to run & I dont think we have been introduced to all the characters yet...
