Instead of having to worry about getting fuel to the aircraft
and landing strips in the wet, why not get the fuel to the nearest
dry location and fly the choppers to that point for refueling ?
Don't they have Ordnance / Supply units doing refueling from
bladders anymore ?
Couldn't one of the supply units be called up to set up an operation
in some reasonably close location that would work for the Helo's ?
It used to be done on pet courses in the past - although a few years
ago now but surely we still have that capability.
