Come on lads - are you not all tired with the negative and, frankly, tedious posts published towards what could and should be a worthwhile project. Inexperienced or expert both in the front or back, surely those of you in the SAR world will be well aware of the inherant dangers surrounding the job and therefore empathetic towards crews prepared to get stuck in.
I for one welcome this whole project and, with reference to those cute little Shetland sheep am reminded of the old pusser's expression -
'What goes to sea, stays at sea....'
