New rescue helicopters delivered
« on: March 01, 2007, 01:01:51 PM »
The first of four new helicopters for search and rescue operations in Scotland has been delivered to the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA).
Two Sikorsky S-92s will be based at Stornoway in the Western Isles and two at Sumburgh in Shetland.

MCA will lease the helicopters from CHC Scotia, who won an interim contract to supply aircraft from 2007 to 2012.

The S-92 replace a fleet of S61Ns - which were designed in 1961 - in a deal worth more than £100m.
