On a really serious note, I will feed that back in about Gold control and the use of helicopters. Might just have a way forward with that one.

Of course fitting all the SAR-H aircraft with Tetra would help.

Expanding SAR-H to cover all the other areas that we all know need covering as Crabb points out is the right way forward. However, give the SAR-H team credit, they did try that and had to step back as it became just too complex and territorial. What they then did was withdraw the competition to something that could be contracted for and more importantly delivered in the timescales required.

Interestingly, I am over in another country talking about co-ordinating exactly as Crabb highlighted. Same problems the SAR-H team had. However, other countries have done it - police,fire, air ambulance coast guard and SAR all under one service. Now you have to guess the country.
