SAR going out to contract.
As reported in RAF news.


"AugustaWestland has been awarded a £300 million five-year contract to support the UK's Sea King helicopters.

The deal sees a partnership between prime contractor Westland Helicopters, BAE Systems Avionics and Thales UK.

There are seven marks of the Sea King in operation in the UK, including the RAF's search-and -rescue versions."



Thoughts please,

Exleckie.

Why do shops that open 24/7 have locks on their doors?

Once upon a time the earth cooled and along came the dinosaurs. They died and made oil, trees died and made coal.

If you built a bridge that stretched all the way around the globe and joined itself to make one continuous struture, then simultaneously removed all of the support pillars.......
