Helimutt;
As for tasking a SAR S61 to do the job of a 109? Really?
So you see nothing wrong with a 'charity run' 109 flying for more than two and a half hours for a 15 min transfer, when 'E' Flight would have been in the air for 30 minutes for the same 15 minute transfer
Why not see how this operation runs for a while before knocking it?
One job in 6 months...how much longer would you like us to keep shtum?
