I understand crab@SAAvn wants to run a Fish and Chip shop - he will make a good profit as he will only need to buy the Fish!

Watching the programme it would be easy to think that 'Langers' and his crew were the only crew that flew BN. We should not forget that NG and his co-pilot CM also did an excellent job: CM IIRC got...

Crab

You state the cost of a RAF flight is 'comparatively low'. Compared to what? From my experience it has been almost impossible to compare apples with apples where MOD are concerned. For...

It actually depends on what the primary objective was. However, I do concede that my poorly put thoughts got a bashing.:{

Tallsar is right - £10M is low. Bid cost can be up top 10% of the contract price. IIRC the bidder that pulled out a year ago had bid costs of around £10M and it was a very lean team.:sad:

You're a little on the lean side. Don't forget that the Mil crews have to cover FI and there is a Training and Standards organisation. The total number of crews to be recruited will...

Crab, you make some valid points. However, I guess they will all be irrelevant by 2017. My guess is that by then there will be no Mil FI SAR requirement (probably no FI deployments)and the 66 Mil...
