No link to the article? That's not very helpful. Should we guess?
Sorry I got the hard copy and I naturally assumed that a man of your resources would be able to just google it?!
It's actually about the history of UK SAR both military and civilian.

In 1978, and again in 1983, folk were crossing their fingers about the single engine performance of the SK and 61.
Still crossed.
How much worse can it get?

You may yet get to see the S61 in the SAR role again Jim if the 189 isn't ready on time.

Does the Carson S61T have any European Civil Certification yet?
Rumour has it the Falklands SAR contract currently being bid may see the S61 T being put forward by more than one of the bidders.

One would hope that the experience levels of those who are taken on will considerably exceed those minimum levels or target zero isn't going to last very long.
