Return to Sender - On previous threads it has been agreed by those in civil SAR that they don't have anything like as many training hours as we do - cost prohibits it, yet they still get the job done well.(you said coping, I said doing a fine job, somewhat different I think).
I said they had old kit (so have we) - you said it was crap not me.
Do the MCA flights have a declared second standby aircraft and crew available at RS 60? No.
I admitted that I made a mistake ref the contractor info - don't you ever make mistakes.
I don't hate civil SAR - what I do hate is when petty minded and uninformed individuals start knocking military SAR for being too expensive when they haven't got a clue about a. what it costs or b. what you actually get for your money.
As ever, posters like yourself have to resort to name calling and playground insults rather than reasoned and logical debate. But I'll get over it.....
