Crab, Sats and Llama,
It's the the British Military, also still running the SAR in FI that doesn't permit flying after dark. Something to do with the type of transponder the Mil require. NOT BHL or the oil company. So no amount of NVG gear is going to get the training done down there.
One could say that the RAF are deliberately not helping to get things up and running, if an NGV compatible aircraft was available, which it is not as they are all on contract to the CG. Now what would you all say if you found a GC 92 on an oil SAR contract in the FI's??
