Well said 3D Cam
Have to agree with you on most of what you say but I would one step further.
I would like the IPT to canvas ALL SAR crew on ALL SAR Bases (Airforce,Navy and Coastguard) on what they would like to see in this new contract.
I think there is a place for a 139 and that place is either Portland or Lee on Solent but not Both they are the only two bases so close that you could have one backing up the other with a larger Helo if needed
