A CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR RNAS YEOVILTON AND THE RNCMSUET “THE DUNKER” 2 Survival Systems Limited METS® Delivered to RNCMSUET via Santa’s present store In a contract placed in June 2020, the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) ordered two Helicopter Underwater Escape Training Systems (HUETS) from Survival Systems Limited (SSL), based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada, for delivery to the Royal Navy Centre for Maritime SERE and Underwater Escape Training (RNCMSUET). Manufacture is now complete, and the units have been sent to the North Pole ready for Santa to deliver. www.militarysystems-tech.com

The 2 METS® wrapped up on their ISO flatrack at SSL’s facility waiting for the reindeer to take them to Yeovilton

The two HUETS requirements will be met by SSL’s proprietary Modular Egress Training Simulator (METS®); a Model 5 represents the WILDCAT and similar aircraft. To represent the MERLIN and similar aircraft SSL provided a Model 40. To help Santa with his deliveries, the units were shipped to Yeovilton by international ISO Flat rack, rather than Santa’s sleigh. Regrettably the reindeer towing this load were unable to move as fast as 78
