Aussie land - hats off to you guys, can't think of anything more demanding in aviation than trying to stay wings level (IMC)with poorly equipped cabs. I have been there many many times and it makes your skin creep.
I would not call an IFR AW139 with 3 crewmembers all on NVG poorly equipped. Australia are light years ahead of most countries when it comes to HEMS. Oh yes - and they fly SAR tasks as well.
