UKSARH figure for the first four years was just over £78000, so exactly the same. There are differences of course, such as in the UK you got NVIS operation, winching of SAR partners' stretcher, more spare aircraft, soon followed by AW189 running costs. And I recall that 9 years ago in the final stages of the UK contract process, CHC were binned because they were more than 20% more expensive than the cheapest bidder.
