Have just seen a BBC news interview with Robert Fox who is the defence correspondent for the London Evening News. What an idiot. He is obviously being fed sh*t from the military. He was going on about how this is highly dangerous because the quality of training is going to plummet and that Bristow has had "issues" with the level of service in the oil and gas sector. He was actually comparing Bristow with G4s security at the Olympics !!!
He totally ignored the fact that Bristow has been doing SAR for coming on 50 years and has the longest pedigree as a worldwide helicopter operator in the world.
He was also going on about the number of medals that military crews get for "daring rescues" totally ignoring awards that civilian SAR members have had over the years.
I will stop now otherwise my rant would go on for at least three more pages
