Thumbs up

Nice to see everyone involved in a SAROP getting a mention for a change! Public role of ARCC used to be limited to trying to explain to members of the press that "No, the Nimrod can't winch up any survivors, it's a fixed-wing ac and can't actually hover" - "Oh right. Can it scoop them up then?" - "??". Or alternatively, "No, we don't know where the missing walkers are; that's why they're still missing" - "Well when will the helicopter find them then?"
Still, well done to all involved; and best wishes to all still at ARCC.
By the way, what exactly is a "routine SAR job"?
