- It was March of this year when the Falklands retired the beloved Sea King and phased in its replacement. Fast forward a few months, and the replacement for the Sea King, the new AgustaWestland AW189, is in full swing.

A Frenchman, Christ the worlds gone potty! Ex F126 myself in 1982.
my self and 6 others which included 2 childeren aged 4&5 were stuck on an island and the decided to make it a training exersise.
Rhys Medforth
1. How did you and 6 others including 2 children get stuck on said island?
2. How is it being a training exercise a bad thing?
My dad's company bristow flies the aw189, they have the SAR contract
The 189 is an impressive aircraft. We use 139 - a little bit shorter
volveremos!!!
lol you lost, get over it
it is just a question of time..and economy. You'll see...
lol, ok. Meanwhile in the real world it's a question of whether the people living there want to stay British or have fucking Argentina of all countries ruling them, end of story. If they want change it will happen, if they don't it simply will never happen.
Roger Wilco stay british obviously
@Gar jaja brexit
It was a bad replacement they should have kept the sea king and brought the new helicopters in with the sea king the sea king is my favourite helicopter
What absolute nonsense you speak. Have you ever actually flown in a helicopter?
@@jamesrae5351 yes but I was saying they should have kept it and flew them both along side each other
@@callumblack1553 ... the Sea king had it's day. Very time-consuming from a maintenance viewpoint compared to it's modern equivalent. Slow, lumbering and underpowered. Let it retire gracefully.
A private company doing this job is stupid, because at some point there profit margin will cost lives.
zz zz they have done it in Ireland for over 50 years and they have done excellent here
@@SuperParatech
Rubbish there profit margin will cost lives.
Hugh Franklin - really?
Explain how.
Give facts not bluster.
You say rubbish. What is rubbish?
Are you calling me a liar?
Explain how it is rubbish.
Always there is a small minded person shouting from the sidelines about stuff they know very little or nothing about.
When confronted with facts, the phrases of rubbish and risking lives comes out yet lacks any articulate reasoning.
When someone cannot - then it shows they have very little to say other than misconstrued bias based upon false beliefs
You don't like private companies.
Ok.
Doesn't make it unsafe and many of SAR programmes would not exist without private investment.
I can name them - can you??
@@SuperParatech
Well you know if the cap fits you wear it. As for proof they are a private company answerable to shareholder, so at some point a search will get called off because it will be costing them money. You prove me wrong show me where this company has gone into the red to save a life.
Hugh Franklin - contracts are written by the government.
For UK, Falklands, Norway and Ireland - the decision to launch and search is taken by the coastguard or similar agency, not by the shareholders.
You seem to have no understanding how things actually work.
When the aircraft is tasked, it goes. The crews do not think about the cost. They are motivated to save lives and to be professional. This is it.
As for penny pinching - government mandarins are infamous for cutting services across all sectors because there is a drive to save money.
A dentist or doctor in the UK can earn privately but they don't deny you treatment because it will affect their prediction of profit. The margins are agreed in advance and contracts are signed. As for helicopters, the capital cost is put up by a private company accepting the risk. The agreed return is an obligation with inspections and checks to ensure compliance throughout the contract.
This is how the nuclear powerplant will be built. Private companies agree to build based upon assurances of a prediction of return earnings later.
Gulf of Mexico has contracted private SAR
Trinidad has same
Guyana same
Australia same
New Zealand same
What do I need to prove...?
Nothing. You made a an outrageous accusation based upon a false belief. Like in a court - the accuser must prove, not just throw wild statements about.
I have told you that private money is necessary.
Your assumption that SAR would not save lives because of profit is unsubstantiated and fundamentally ignores how such things are implemented.
You also must assume that crews don't care for the lives of people they are tasked to help. This is wrong.
I know. I am on SAR rescue as the paramedic.
Over to you
cue the corporate babble speak...
So can this thing provide CSAR (combat search and rescue) or is it built to full civilian standards? They do realize armed conflict is still possible - that's why the strong British military presence, remember? You going to trust civilians (many may have military experience, but they're still civilians!) to take their expensive helicopter into a combat zone to rescue a downed pilot or rescue wounded? Or is that out of bounds for them, just have to wait for a dedicated military rescue helicopter? But that will NEVER happen, right? I hope not, but if it does, someone better have this figured out. A croat and Italian aircrew trying to get a British pilot in combat.....just bizarre.
Italian air force use the smaller AW-139 for csar & the eh-101 as well. They are working with leonardo on a csar version of the AW-189, if you Google aw189 csar you should see photos of it.
That would involve foresight and planning. Not likely from government
The 189 is used by the Italians for CSAR
@Austin Ihenacho the AW-189 is used by the Egyptian airforce and was derived from the AW-149 witch is used by the Thai police and military aswell as the Egyptian navy the 149 itself was derived from the AW-139 witch is in service with to many country’s to list I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t buy it if they didn’t think it would work well. Not to mention if the Argentines want to invade buying four unarmed helicopters no matter there type wouldn’t do much to deter them also the whole what will happen in the event of an argentine invasion simple call the Royal Navy
They arent taking it into combat zones?
