Sun,
Oh yes, I'm full of it! In the same way, in four years' time, we will all, without any doubt or dissenters, be able to state that UK military SAR is completely perfect. Unless Old Duffer and his junta stand and deliver, of course.

(By the way, OD, no disrespect to you - but I think you will be shocked how quickly what we have now will be canned. And if the new service isn't quite ready, there might be a tiny extension of mil SAR - ie weeks/months, not years - or it might just be accepted that an inferior/incomplete service is acceptable in the short term because the MOD can't/won't extend the Sea King).
