Guys, thanks very much for your information.

I have been spoilt in th epast with cabin space being an ex-Sea King Pilot, but I took part in a trial for the stretcher fir for our 412 and whilst they fitted in okay, there was f@@@ all room for the winchman and winchop to work on the casualties during what could be a 45 min transit to hospital.

We have a FLIR turret which interferes with the homers and an instrument panel which has been put together by ACME cockpits ltd.

And why do 412s have the Nr needle as the smallest most difficult to read needle in the cockpit?

The other thing that grips is that the civvie company who are providing the helicopter and engineers for us are using us to do their development work for them, when we were supposed to get a fully functioning helicopter off the shelf.

Anyway, rant over. Thank you for all of your information.
