Oh that's easy Car, those with an axe to grind can't use a successful sortie as fuel for their witch hunt

I do find it funny all the hate directed to Cobham. Has anyone just stood back and thought that Pearl's refusal to table tender that used jets over turbo props as required in the contact is a pretty significant factor in them losing the contract in the first place?

A new type is always going to have teething problems, give it 12 months and I'd put money on the new SAR service will be much more efficient and effective than the old one.

Certainly not taking anything away from the old Dornier crews or the Pearl service who did a fantastic job, but a new company and new equipment will give a broader capability
