Interesting report, please tell how did you get access?

[Orville]

By invitation.

That's an awful lot of hardware sitting around doing nothing.
I guess the Helicopters are classed as 'reserve units', but if that's the case they would need a lot of work to get them fighting fit.
Seems such a waste.

That's an awful lot of hardware sitting around doing nothing.

What on earth are you on about? Less than one second of my time to google "HMS Sultan" and the first result says "HMS Sultan is the home of Defence School of Marine Engineering (DSMarE) and the Royal Naval Air Engineering and Survival School (RNAESS)."

That's hardly aircraft "doing nothing"!
