Don't forget Gannet SAR flight in your list "SAR experts" only the busiest SAR unit in the UK last year and on track for the honours again this year.

If the rest of the Navy don't know about us no wonder the media always refer to us as "Crabs" (at least they got last weeks job correct)

In regard to "zap leads" they don't work on subs / MCMV's due to the anachoic tiles / plastic boat preventing the static being dischraged. Flying guide states that you should not use a ZAP lead when operating to these vessels. there should be an earthing team on deck to earth the wire as you descend..... just make sure the fools do not earth you instead of the wire!!
