cyclic, I mentioned JSAR in post #441. I know I have posted a lot, but please don't accuse me of doing something (or omitting to do something) that I have in fact done.

In that post I mentioned JSAR but said I was omitting if from that particular post. So hardly a cover-up!

I didn't say why, but this is why:

It was a SAR machine, not an oil and gas crewchange machine, and once you start comparing accident rates for aircraft in completely different roles, it all gets rather daft.

Secondly, and frustratingly, the cause of that ditching was never really established so its hard to make any comment about it - ie was it the fault of the operator, the manufacturer, pilot issues or technical issues (or a combination) or what.
