Its not far off, you wouldn't believe some of the monstrosities I worked on when people were going crazy on credit. Its funny when you see the idiots now with their worthless piles of junk.

I hope AW are charging storage fees, but I thought you'd bought into the idea of privatising SAR using CHC? Even we turned that down, for now.

I don't know what the outcome was, it dragged on for years, but yes the service is using hired helicopters now.
I suppose its better to hire than face a repeat of what they done with the Dauphins, as they sold them for peanuts because errrr...they were due a major servicing and servicing costs money and well there are these people who are really really happy to get a helicopter at that sort of price so sell 'em

Thank god we have a tiny military, who knows how much more money the muppets in government could waste if it was bigger.
