Should do at regular intervals and also under different conditions and scenarios to enhance preparedness to quickly act under immergency situations. A cordinated approach involving other forces should also be developed. Good work.

You ungrateful self-centered ingrates who are whining here should get down on your knees and thank god for these wonderful gallant chaps protecting our great nation and its citizens.
By the way chaps, this looks like a Bell 212 Twin Huey from No. 7 Squadron. You can distinguish between Bell 212s and Bell 412s operated by No. 4 Squadron (VIP transport) by number of blades in the main rotor. Bell 412 has a composite four-blade main rotor while 212 only has a two blade rotor. I think No. 7 operates ten Bell 212s for training, troop transport and MEDEVAC. And, don't even get me started on the fantastic No. 9 attack Squadron operating Mil Mi-24s & Mil Mi-35s for CAS.
Cheers!
