It ain't broke

To follow the thread from the beginning - it ain't broke - we are staying at Innsworth. Got to refurbish a building and move within the camp to let the ARRC in, but the team remains and are mightily glad to be doing so.

Compassionate and DILFOR services remain as normal.

The DOMCOL comments are correct for Compassionate cases but as far as DILFOR is concerned we operate worldwide taking the family from wherever to wherever, if the Docs think it is necessary. And for the really serious cases it's just like a Comp A for speed/service. Witness one lady from Orkney to Bahrain on Christmas Day courtesy of the KS SAR chopper, a Belgian private charter and then evening Gulf Air out of Heathrow, arrived early hours of Boxing Day. But that's the clever bit - all thanks to the DSCOM Team (aka DTMA).

Horror of Horrors (!!!!!) but we use JPA to record it all and to receive e-NOTICAS, which take about a minute (yes really!) instead of 3-4 hours for an old-fashioned signal. The Casualty bit works well, if only everybody will keep their personal Contacts details up to date, but that was true of the "good old systems" too.

HGW
