Slightly off topic but it was always reassuring to know that whilst in the Falklands, Albert or the Vicky 10 would be on hand to get you away if there was a compasssionate problem back home and no Timmy around. (Accompanied a few as tech support on Albert) (I assume this service is available the sunnier climes as well?).

Also did a number of Medevacs for locals and fishermen etc.

It may be a simplistic view but if the capability is there and the crews are able then why not provide the service. If nothing else its good PR, and good for morale.
