Appreciate you probably can't say for good OPSEC reasons but what "Crash Cat" arrangements are put in place for tactical landing strips? Theoretically speaking, if it is ok to fly an aircraft with pax and freight on-board onto a strip in the middle of nowhere with no ambulance / fire truck etc can't you just use the same thinking for putting an aircraft into, say, Wattisham (assuming it's in support of current ops). If the risk management is acceptable in theatre surely if its in support of ops its acceptable out of theatre? Or is it UK H&S intruding again?
