What do the RAF know about modern Search & Rescue technology or modern helicopters? Their own fleet is old and dated and their personnel have NO experience of what these aircraft and its equipment can do.
However, if you want a 40 year old aircraft with a single hoist and a radar that points backwards all at a HUGE cost then......
Why is it that certain people in the RAF think they know it all, are the elite of the profession and that its their god given right to judge everyone else????
