One wonders why we decided to go with Eurocopter and Agusta, instead of keeping all our business with the Italians. Was is to placate Eurocopter after the MLH fiasco?Originally posted by GoneToTheCanner View Post

Because Agusta had a hopeless reputation in the Don for spares supply for the Marchetti.If they couldn't do right by a few simple trainers...

"Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.Comment

There was a big ex on off the coast last week in and around the Gas Rigs.
