Radiohead……If you consider the crews being trained and capable of effecting full auto hover water rescues as ‘Basic Training’ then you are correct.
As one of the Aussies who were involved I can tell you it was far from being ‘Basic’. The Chinese crews did remarkably well whilst under our charge for that phase and were passed on as intended to GFS for on the job training and to consolidate their CRM.
China Rescue, keep up the good work
