HAL9000 I am sorry but I miss the whole point of your reference to YELLOW SAR helicopters, what has that got to do with the price of anything. Could the Navy not do the same job, could HMCG not do the same job like they did in Boscastle? It is only by pure chance that their were three YELLOW helicopters available yesterday, what if there had not been? Would you have been shamed and embarrassed if a grey and red one turned up?? Incidentally one of your prized YELLOW helicopters went u/s and had to be replaced, luckily for you with another YELLOW one.
Would it help when SAR-H is agreed and decided if we paint all the cab's YELLOW. Would it...really?
