On the basis that Brett R has edited his posts (two days ago!) in the LifeFlight thread to take out his assurance that he was pulling out of commercial work, I'd hazard a guess that the French will be subsidised by a registered charity again

Weel, I'm pretty sure that the german helicopter operator "Helitransair" will send two BO 105s down there again. Rumours say that "Heli Service Wasserthal" is struggling to get his hands on another "never come back mission" with the Indians.

Helicopters New Zealand are back with the Italian's again for another season and they apparently almost got a contract with the Americans but missed out when they decided to go with an American company which is fair enough.

@Spunk. You're right ! I'll go to Antarctica for Heli Transair 24th this month and yes Helicopter Service Wasserthal was on an Indian ship but they are back. I heard about some "minor" problems regarding the food "Indian Style" etc.
The German RV "Polarsten" is a really nice place to work. Good food and service, safe and a highly experienced crew making the trips allways a pleasure.
I'll be back in November and probably post some pictures.

Hi Spencer,

safe and a highly experienced crew

So how come they are sending you down there then??

Just kidding, fly safe and listen to what Juergen is telling you.

Hi Spunk,
