Why is it that Crab is that youare bitching about civilian contractors and that they are are not suited for SAR-H.
Tell me this then if the MoD are so perfect then why are the HC.3 Chinooks not flying still and how taxpayers money has been waisted on something that was so dessprately need to help troops in Iraq and so on.
The fact of the matter is the Seaking is getting old and to darn expensive to keep in the air and how long do want to fly in something that is nearly falling apart and waisting valuable money.
I heard as well the programme to upgrade the future Lynx and Puma fleet has been cancelled due to no money in the kitty to upgrade them.
The money the MoD save with civilian SAR around the coast of the UK then the Mod will have spare cash to spend to either upgrade or purchase furture projects to help troops in difficult sittuations
Don't get me wrong Crab I'm not against the job that you do I think you all do a marvellous job in protecting our coasts and saving countless lives infact is this not what SAR is all about and help one another to save lives instead of nik picking at civilian SAR give the guy's a break and support the programme you never you might be pleasently supprised
