GE in turn is further involved in the leasing activities affected by the CHC actions, as well of course as the manufacturer of the CT7 engines in the S92. You couldn't make this stuff up if you tried!
Indeed Cyclic Hotline. One of my ( Dutch ) colleagues referred to it as 'KLM blue'. The lawyers will have a 'field day' ( years ) once they commence legal action against AH and the OEM of the MGB.
