I suppose it is time for HC to jump in here and tell us how superior the 225 is when compared to the 92.
When it is flying, it is of course vastly superior to the S92. However, when it falls into the water (again), it is no better...
We don't yet know what happened, but if it is the same as the last one, that is going to be pretty embarrassing for EC.
In the past I posed the question re the design of the 225 MGB and whether there exists a design flaw that just does not pass muster
I don't think there is a conceptual design flaw, but the devil is in the detail and there was certainly a detail problem with the Bond ditching, and maybe there is still a detail problem lurking there (we won't know until we get more info). The only thing I can say is that detail problems are relatively easy to fix, fundamental design problems such as no attempt to permit flight after total loss of oil, are much harder to fix.
