Lorrimer,
I sailed on the Bar Protecter when we went to find the 3rd of the ditched chinooks.
I saw the rov footage.
You have 1000 hours on those indescribably awful aircraft.
Good effort.
They averaged a little over 9000 hours between ditchings ( in the n sea )
You are a lucky man.
This is 2013,
That level of attrition is just not acceptable now.
I am lost, as a group you want the bears to accept that the current level of attrition is ok.
As a bear, i'm letting you know, we disagree.
