The last Strike i saw, prob cost a lot more than £0.5m in manpower alone. (S92)
Then add 3 main blades 4 tail, new Complete MRH,MGB, IGB, TGB, Drive shafts, rework to the main lifting frames due to arching through the MGB bolt holes. Amongst a lot of other stuff. Prob 6 months or more in lost revenue.
Insurance bill for??????? multiple millions. and since theres always the possibility that if you get struck it could be that bad every time, im not surprised the flying gets cancelled.
