Excellent editorial.  Love it... Just remember that the MPs and not bonded to their word when they are in chamber.  They can say whatever they want and get away with it. Great work Mike.

Yes... you agree with new Chinooks only, or Yes... you heard the rumour with having some Cormorants in Afghanistan???

I would prefer to see brand new Chinook.  BTW - Rumour as it here (in Greenwood) that if the Cormorant didn't have the Tail Rotor problem... The CAF would have repainted a couple of them and would be deployed in Afghanistan to support our troops.  Anybody else heard this???

THe only erreur with this site is that technically, our roundel was invented before the RAF one.  Seriously.

THe only real heavy lift is the CH-47 Chinook.  The question is??? Is it still being built.  If not we will have to find some old airframes and refit them.  Medium lift, I would pick the EH101 Merlin.  hand down.  :warstory: :cdn:

Applicable only on TD... On the line the maintainers put the bird to bed.

Which blue do you want... AF blue or UN blue?? :cdn:

All new aircraft have teething problems... that could be a serious problem.  I think that the Griffon has a similar problem.  Don't see this one make to news... :warstory:

Might explain why the Osprey as a much bigger propellor.  I only knew that the Dynavert did very well at the time.  My understanding was that there was no requirements for it at the time.  The lesson learned in Vietnam were not on paper yet.  Same goes for the Bras D'or.
