Painful as it is to agree with Crab..but having flown SAR in the lakes plenty that pass is well known and you are not exposed for long going over the top. Would you let someone die rather than hover taxi over there? No of course not (subject to regs and common sense). Do I want these chaps to train realistically so they can take out the bad guys before they melt Sellafield? Hell yes.
