Getting a list from our stores man - but they've assured me that they've exhausted suppliers.
Two tail rotor sleeves/cusps were delivered and promptly shrivelled up on use!!!!
Trouble with getting spares from distant shores is the problem of getting suitable EASA paperwork.
Company has identical parts that they can put on an 'N' but can't put on a 'G' plate.
effing ridiculous

Nope.
Busy time at the turn of the month [do you go writing on Pprune when you are flying?] and besides I have not researched the subject. Watching though.
As ever, if I know nuttin...
Its wise to say nuttin....
Still busy anyway. One down another to go.
Night night.

Welcome back Notar fan.
Sorry for the delay I have been up North for three days on family business.
It is quite simple. I just have nothing sensible to contribute. The subject requires a fair bit of research and I simply do not have the 'instant' time available just now. On the face of it I guess that those with first hand knowledge are contributing what appears to be sensible comment... and a bit of biased as well no doubt ... but there is absolutely no point in me going off half cock and writing what I know to be rubbish [as opposed to what you think is rubbish!]. Where would I start?
I guess the question I need to answer is why do manufacturers [in this case EC] fail to supply some spares on demand? As I do not have a helicopter, have never had a helicopter, never built a helicopter, never supplied spares for a helicopter - let alone an EC - that may take some time!
As you may recall I think I was criticised a few months ago for sitting back, researching and assessing before posting. The process itself took a couple of months but I was happy to write on the result of my beliefs at the time I posted. It may have been disliked [by you and yours] but no-one actually demolished the basic post I injected into the thread in reply to a posted question because I happened to have the material to hand.
Which takes us back to the attack on Eurocopter. I have no set opinion and certainly no data so until I do I will refrain from even openly asking the questions relating to the original post that have formed in my mind - until such time as I feel I am ready and able to 'play'. At current availability of my spare time.... how does January 2007 suit?
P.S. Sorry to be a bit dozy on this .... another potential 'out' for me on this thread might well be that this is not obviously a stated airborne emergency services problem?
Or is it?
I do not know who the operator is or where they are at?
Do you?
