I can personally attest to :
a) Sid's ability to say NO when needed - including several years ago to his employer
when under considerable pressure from his Maintenance Manager
who somehow managed to remotely ( by telephone ) diagnose an aircraft
with a fuel leak as "fit for one flight" of about 45 miles to the Maintenance Facility
b) The credibility of his Unit's FSO
Can we get back on track now, as I can't really see what Lumberjacking Skycranes
or R22 cow herding have got to do with the title of this Thread : "UK NPAS discussion"
Looking forward to some sensible updates on progress when the next Units join up - soon
