Someone will come along now and say that NVG was not a requirement of the GAP SAR contract - which is correct.
In which case, why brag about it and tell everyone that you're going the extra mile and converting to NVG early, over and above the contract specifications? If it was to ensure that operational crews were experienced in using NVG on type come April 1st then great, what a sensible idea. However, would someone would like to tell us how much NVG flying has been done on the GAP SAR contract so far? (I think we know the answer.)
