massive contract.
Bet you its bringing a tear to the eye of their competitors. Cobham is cleaning up all of the contracts one by one, every one of them. Looks like they really are the market leader.

The four-engine planes were chosen mainly for safety reasons because of the risk of bird-strike on Barrow Island.
I remember changing 2 engines on a 146 up thereafter a birdstrike, and still having to 3 engine ferry it out.
The Bristow boys put on a good BBQ in their hangar though.

Good point. Can we expect you to go to print on this contract Mr Thomas?
I would have thought that the largest FIFO resource contract in Australian history would warrant a report?
