The RAF have a couple of female SAR pilots
just a bit out of date

There's been quite a number on both SH and SAR - just off the top of my head I can think of at least 3 who have made it to sqn ldr rank too - and deservedly in each case...
And there aren't many
male Chinook pilots who could get their frame refuelled in Albania with the wrong Credit Card .... by snogging the (Austrian IIRC) bowser driver ......
