Like we've so many spare SAR assets as it is....

BBCi report on missing glider:

"A helicopter was scrambled from RAF Boulmer in Northumberland but was diverted to Leuchars after hitting a bird.

A second helicopter is currently grounded at Boulmer due to technical problems.

The RAF's search and rescue helicopter based at Lossiemouth is also grounded after having to make an emergency landing last week. "
