    Another thing we should be doing, but don't have the means to....
    For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

      The curent radar in the CASA has SAR/ISAR capabilities and is more then capable of detecting pollution I am not sure have the AC's version the necessary soft ware.

        From Facebook.

        Last week, members of 101 "Surveillance and Airlift" Squadron joined crews from Denmark, Finland, Germany, Norway and Sweden to participate in the 2015 Super CEPCO - Coordinated Extended Pollution Control Operation.
        The purpose of the operation is to survey an area of intense marine traffic, which has a high probability of illegal discharges, to identify, record and report the detected pollutions and polluters.
        CEPCO provides an opportunity for the Air Corps to participate in a multinational operation and to learn from crews across Europe. Here are a few pictures from the CEPCO 2015.

          "Air Corps and Naval Service Joint Operation"

          Air Corps Maritime Air Patrol CASA detects a suspicious-looking contact


          Photograph sent by CASA to Naval Operations Command Centre, Haulbowline


          Naval Operation plots the contact


          LE EITHNE (back on routine patrol after Med) sends a Naval Team to inspect the contact


          After check with all agencies, contact sunk by LE EITHNE as a Hazard to Navigation

            Just curious, how would they have sunk it?
            'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
            'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
            Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
            He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

              Judging by the photo, would guess they placed charges on board.

              If they used the 57mm, then I demand video evidence

                By the look of it, a well placed size 10 would sink it.

                      Ironic thing about Rhodes' pictures is that it shows two of the failed contenders of the original SAR aircraft competition, still going strong.

                        So the age old discussion whenever Air Corps aircraft are replaced:

                        If the Casa's make it to Marpat retirement age and their replacements enter service - is there anything to be said for keeping them on, stripped out, for use as transports?

                        Or will they be thoroughly worn out after 25 years?

                          I never understood why the Fokker didn't make it. in 1998 they were a banker.

                              In that case I hope we pay for new builds to replace them.
