Resistance is Futile
Lower your shields and prepare to be assimilated.
A lot of people have said a lot of things but you you are the only one to get it right.

I would not recommend quoting me. I have a bad record.
But it you must, you really should go to the trouble of getting it right.
“Unfortunately neither Surf nor CareFlight have any current 412 expertise.”
I believe this to be true. I would check your other facts as well. But what the hell it is a rumour network.
Anyway, I thought you were a BK man. Turn coat.

Mc beef,
You are obviously not as much in the know as you think you might be. If you do a little digging you might find that Lloyd helicopters still exsist as a company in Australia. Trading as CHC Helicopters (Australia). You might also find that the company is not that much different. Many of the same staff, same head office etc. You might also find that there are still some staff there that worked the Gong in the NSCA days as well as the "Lloyd" days.
The world keeps on moving, get over it & move on !!!!!

I suppose the worry for the scareflight and smurf types is that the community will realise that commercial operators can do the job to the same standard, without the politics, without the hype and without the army of fundraisers sucking donations out of the community.

Clarence : at least the funds sucked out of the community ( which are derived from those people who freely decide that they need these services ) are spent in Australia enhancing these same services , rather than exporting these funds overseas for the profit of foreign investors . Are you a patriot ? Or perhaps you are yet another opportunistic parasitic blow-in from across the Tasman ?

You and Gimble Stop seem to share a common distrust of our friends over the Tasman.
We were told they upset Gimble Stop by leaving him unpaid phone bills.
What did they do to you?
I am seriously interested because I too have had a negative experience or two with kiwis.
Shurly they can not all be miserable, opportunistic, tight and dishonest. Maybe aviation attracts a certain kind.
Maybe all the good ones stay at home and the dregs end up here.

I have heard that NSW Ambo service asked CHC to go to a 24hr operation to take up the slack that Westpac has left because their winch is U/S.
It took CHC less than 24 hours to place addional Pilots and Crewman/Rescue Crewman on-site at the Gong... good job boys!

Hammer Head, I don't think so do you?
Come on it's got nothing to do with Tax payer funded, Charity, Private.. what ever you wish to lable it, It has to do with capability, resource's of which the local's don't, didn't will never have. All I am highlighting is the fact that, that's what the locals are up against... tas all.

"Maybe the fundraisers should refund the donated money without delay.......or at least reveal to all where it's gone. Nothing sinister alleged here, but I bet the mum and dad punters will be shocked how much there ain't. People should rightly be aware of the rorting that goes on in some community based card houses."

I still reckon the mum and dads who answered the rattling tins deserve to know the answers.
"Where's all the money gone?"

wineboy,
perhaps you are forgetting that from about june to sept 2000 (my memory is a bit rough here) "the locals" did in fact provide a 24/7 IFR service due to a conflict in major aircraft servicing schedules of CareFlight and ChildFlight. And at very short notice.
And when you call them "locals" I think you forget that they are (were) part of the Lifesaver service, and thus had resource and capability access that a single machine set up could not hope to emulate without the resource issues that hammer headed mentions.
