Thanks for the reply. I still can't understand why modern helicopters have such poor windscreen wipers. Cars seem to manage at high speed without them departing over your shoulder, which used to be fairly common on the Wessex!!

Now that the S92 seems to be becoming the main Seaking replacement world wide you would think that Sikorsky would come up with a tank which isn't in the cabin! Though I know farmers like them! I came upon a lowloader with about 8 Wessex Aux tanks on it - some still in crates - in a farmer's field near Humberside 3 yrs ago!!
