I believe the PM had no idea of what was going on with SARH until very recently - let's see what happens now
Do you mean he now realises that a great proportion of the RAF is not doing its bit on the frontline?
Look out, your movement orders are in the post! Next stop, Helmand SAR.
Seriously, do you really think Gordon gives a stuff about any of this? He is
not the first PM to hear about SARH, trust me! Someone even higher had knowledge of it a long time ago.

The MCA lost any Aviation expertise with the departure of Geoff Roberts. His replacement, C T, now employed by CHC
, had next to no SAR experience,mil or civ, and that is beginning to show in the problems associated with introducing a new type to the MCA contract! Teething problems are not confined to one company. They come with the aircraft, as we all know.
