I thought that the primary role for Mil SAR UK was recovery and rescue of 'downed' sevice personnel. It seems because the SAR have 'winch' capability that 'in time of need inland' no rescue agencies had anybody else to turn to for winch capability, it has now become apparent that 'flaxton flyer' is painting a diffrent picture. i don't know of any ruling that the mil SAR has overall rights to do all the uk winching inland unless you can advise me any different !
It seems times are changing and there is a need to put specialist teams, Ie USAR
www.usar.org.uk personnel into areas that are inaccesible. Mil SAR are not always available. It seems we overlook the patients who are 'time critical' or who would benefit from intervention within the
