Oh I'm sure they probably do - most likely similar to best international practice

would that mean that should the IAC get this role, it is going to paint its existing helis luminous yellow and use them for air ambulance from now on or that they will get a new fleet of air ambulance choppers?"He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
"No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."

Interestingly this will be the first AC operation I am aware of that will have full time civilian crew on board.Last edited by Tadpole; 10 January 2012, 10:06.

I see that this is only a ratification of what has been happening for the last few years, but I see an imidiate and quite important catch, the AW 139's are not suitable for the job, if they were I would say have them converted and buy some real troop helicopters to replace them in that role, so roll on a couple of S 92's or similiar.
And then there must be a suitable fixed wing must be got as well, probally a Casa, but would it be a better use for the G IV then transporting our useless, self-important politicans around?"We will hold out until our last bullet is spent. Could do with some whiskey"
