As a outsiders point of view MTB seems to know what he/she is talking about. There have been a few false starts with UK SAR the biggest one obviously was SAR H. That is the past and Bristow's seem to being doing it right from the starter blocks with spend on infrastructure, people and aircraft. I would suggest the least of your worries in Ireland are having aircraft washers and wash bays. Pink P is correct, play the ball not the person on the forum. The later looses you the argument
What is FOI?
