This could also apply to the Rotorhead forum but I'm amazed that there is no military helicopter assistance to communities cut off by the recent floods especially in the Southwest. To see food supplies being ferried in by very small boats along flooded roads where any manner of obstruction could be hidden strikes me as positively dangerous. I recall back in the blizzards of 1978 when two Whirlwinds from Chivenor supplied a big chunk of the Southwest with neccessities ( including supplies of beer and spirits to a beleagured pub) and here we are many years later with much more capable helos but none in sight. If there are such missions happening then surely a
PR opportunity is being missed as well.
