That'd be the dept. that doesn't have gold taps in the bathrooms.
It was five difernet departments, because of course SAR helicopters ain't really for search and rescue

Or that may just be the media lying that just about everyone in Ireland renovated their houses and installed luxurious fittings throughout.
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.
