[First it was Stornoway then Lee, then Portland...(i might have got my order wrong there) but the point is that 15 years ago the Military used to conduct ALL SAR operations in this country and now they do less than half.....]
Take your shoes and socks off and do some sums. Coastgaurd have four flights, military have six RAF and two navy which when I went to school comes to eight military flights. Strikes me that the military have more than half the flights. And I have worked SAR both sides of the fence military & civil.
