Everyone enjoys a bit of irony first thing in the morning. I've got to hand it to you Jim, this one's priceless.
I spent most of that time talking to Inverness SAR pilots and pilots who form part of the management team at Bristow SAR............I believe that the answer is that they have delivered.
I also spoke to people about previous civilian SAR contracts, about NVG, and about the AW189, incuding AFCS SAR modes, icing protection systems and NVG.
And then this.
rather than believe the spin
Surely you must see, that's exactly what you're doing, believing the spin and then re-broadcasting it here.
From the above quote it looks like you asked about NVG twice. By all accounts, that's twice more than they've flown with them! But I'm sure it'll all be ok because, "Inverness SAR pilots and pilots who form part of the management team at Bristow SAR" say it will be.
