Er, no. No excuse for running into trouble with even the old gen NVGs. Some great lines have been fed to the reporter there and a lot of what he has written in surprisingly good for the Mail.
To pick up on a couple of his points, NVGs have a narrow feild of view, you just have to move your head. Traffic warning systems - let's all have TCAS, it would really help in war. What has the Super Puma crash in August to do with this? I thank the reporter for the list of other, unrelated helo incidents.
Not very impressed.
