RAF stretches tours of duty
An investigation by The Herald found that RAF helicopter crews spent up to one third longer on operational deployment last year.
Figures obtained showed that Puma crews spent up to 204 days on detached duty, Merlin pilots 203 days, Chinook crews 179 and Sea King fliers 88.
Royal Navy's Sea King crews faced the worse with 225 days on detached duty.
