CHC had 2 x L2's there for a little over a year in offshore support. With the onboard seat tanks fitted they worked well , although anti-ice version maybe even better. For a combined onshore support + offshore support and SAR role L2's would work a treat and with 225's now back on line ,there should be a few around. Being based at Mount Pleasant isn't for everyone though. Port Stanley was more civilised , but hangarage is a problem as the rag hangar built for CHC has now disintegrated.
