Crabette and Crab will you two just hug? RAF SAR would benefit massively if they were to be able to deploy and provide JPR coverage in some of the dusty places we work now. It was mooted to send the SARF to Bosnia in the late 90s, but nothing came of it. It has been much talked about and probably the pipe and slippers image has done the SARF no good, but then again apparently some people like to have a predictable life flying some demanding missions without having to go away from their families regularly.

Teeters - CSAR does have an SF flavour, but it isn't really an SF mission, but SF are part of the Personnel Recovery mission spectrum.
