Why should any SAR flight get more eng manpower?
Why should anyone be chopped just because William is coming to SAR?
He is a good chap who will, I am sure, make the grade as a SAR pilot and he won't be given an easy ride because we can't afford to have non-capable crew on SAROPs. When he makes it to the front line (and yes the OCU really is 9 months long on top of the SARTU course) it will be as a result of application and ability, not birth and position.
