Reported lack of SAR cover

What was that I heard on Radio 4 this morning? Something about the whole of the Yorkshire/Lincolnshire coast being without SAR cover because there wasn't one helicopter serviceable? A named Sqn Ldr came on line and I might have misheard, but he seemed to imply there were times when the whole of 202 Sqn was U/S simultaneously - and not for just a few moments either!

For the sake of all those youngsters on flying training from Cranwell etc., please will someone tell me it isn't so.
