reduction in the number of RAF SAR crews
This is apparently going ahead. It remains to be seen how the reductions will affect day-to-day business, but it seems impossible that the current level of cover can be maintained with fewer crews (the problem is that the SAR Force is going back to pre-1982 crewing levels while now also having to provide manpower for the Falklands).

The likely result is that UK SAR coverage will be compromised.
