Luvverboy,
Didn't think I had compared the abilities of Military or Coastguard SAR crews. What I did point out was the original objective of Jigsaw i.e. to replace/supplement the offshore standby boats on BP offshore installations. The safety implications of the loss of these vessels is still being questioned by many who are employed in the North Sea environment, however, that's another story for another time.
I feel sure that Bond will endeavour to hire crews of a suitable competency.
If you should ever consider leaving the military, do your researches very thoroughly before you decide which operator to work for as, believe me, none of them are what they first seem.
Happy SARing and here's hoping you never have to fish me out of the water.

By the way, how do I tell the difference between Military and Coastguard SAR crews? Is it that the Military wear their underpants outside their survival suits? Sorry, couldn't resist that one.
