Translation: Berlin / Oslo (dpa) - According to the German Air Force, the crash of a Eurocopter helicopter on the coast of Norway, does not affect the Special Air Mission Wing of the German Ministry of Defence (BMVg) to the Bundeswehr (German armed forces). «The Model H-225 Super Puma - Eurocopter EC 225 operated in Norway we do not have in stock,» an Air Force spokesman said on Saturday [30th of April, 2016] to the German Press Agency in Berlin. «Therefore no consequences are resulting to execute any savety inspections on our helicopters or even suspending flight operations with helicopters [Cougar AS-532-L2] of the the Special Air Mission [
and VIP-]
Wing of the German Ministry of Defence to the Bundeswehr»
…. paper pusher!
When in doubt the older MRGB-Layout of AS 332-L2 / Cougar As 532-L2 is more prone to mashing of epicyclic gears as the newer MRGB of H 225 / H 725 Caracal, does this mean, that the Air Force spokesman of Special Air Mission [and VIP-] Wing of the German Ministry of Defence to the Bundeswehr told on Saturday [30th of April, 2016] “bull****” to the German Press Agency in Berlin!? To say it in principle, this paper pusher wanted to be foxiest already one day after the crash and thirteen days before the Norwegian and British authorities haven't released the ban of H225, but have actually extended the ban to the AS 332L2?
