Try the cheapest not up to date NVG technology for that too.....

SS, I know you are only 3, but let's try to keep it real. The cheapest NVIS is £99 from Lidl. What Bristow are using is top-end ITAR-controlled commercially available at time of purchase. And SAR Force aircrew don't have the very latest Generation either.

Vie, I think I know the answer too.
