Trust the fitba fans that flew out to MAN & back enjoyed the match & quality fitba on show...from Madrid...
Interesting to note the order confirmed at Helitech 2013 by the Bristow Group for the EC175 (which I thought I read about before, but now confirmed) & (which I didn't know about) the S-76D.
Wonder if either of these types will make it to the UKCS in any number?
Presume all heli operators are still banking on the eventual return of the EC225. I would never claim to know the technical ins & outs of a helicopter, but the EC225 always seemed a good machine that has run into an ill period of luck with the two near identical issues last year that led to the controlled water landings. I hope it does return, but I'm old enough to remember what happened after the BV234 was lost in 1986 off Sumburgh - total loss of confidence in the type from the people that had to be transported in them.
