Thanks for the reply Bremen
the "Irish" comment comes from a well worn expression about unintelligable and inaccurate statements....
If this is Rotorhub copy, then they need to get a better reporter and editor. Both companies claiming to have had their aircraft submitted by all 4 bidders? Somehow, I don't think so. In fact its complete rubbish. Its clear that both companies are using the opportunity to push their products. Not surprising, but I suspect many both at Bidder level and within the Department for Transport will find this a bit "off piste" and embarrasing given they are in the middle of assessing the Bidder's submissions.
shame the last competiton failed as many will rue the day that an all S-92 service has been excluded
