Mil SAR do an excellent job and I could never fault them, however, the MOD way of life is infinately more expensive to the Treasury (ie the TAXPAYER), than contracting the job out to Civilian SAR operators, who are equal in EVERY department to the Mil SAR, but cost less.
I know, I've worked very very closely with both, on a regular basis.
So who, do you realistically, think is going to get the job???
