My understanding is that Humberside have been ahead of Inverness on NVG training. You would expect that when Inverness's problems with aircraft and storm damage are considered. Two levels of training objective may exist for NVG: one for those with previous experience and one for those without.

There are a lot of people in the training system and only two bases to staff. Nautical Twilight start/end: 05h 22m/21h 22m and getting better every day. Faced with the possibility of contract penalties and reputational damage, what do you think is going to happen?

Change-over is expected as planned.
