I guess they will have to create fairly large trained teams in order to be able to get a handful together when an emergency at sea develops. Small specialised teams are great for the first six months after launch then holiday season starts, another goes off to watch a baby being born, another breaks a leg...

Great PR stuff from a Government thats great on PR but will not stump up the money for even one dedicated Fire Brigade helicopter to develop the concept.

Strangely nothing was heard before the launch - the storyline must have been restricted to the TV crews.
