Eskadrille 722 obviously has to terminate it‘s transport, support and other flights not connected with SAR missions. This should be done due to a shortage of available EH101 Merlin Mk.512 helicopters and crews. This wrote Colonel Hans Kristian Skovsmore, Commanding Officer of Helicopter Wing at Karup, to the Wings crews and soldiers some days ago. The Flyvevåbnet itself advices to stand down any kind of NATO helicopter readiness, whatever this could mean.
During the past years there was also a shortage of available Eskadrille 721 C-130J and Cl.604 aircrafts.
Time will tell how this problems could be overcomed.
