Bluenose 50 - while we are gently clarifying points - bringing equipment into service without it being tried and tested (which everyone has to do at some point) is one thing and bringing equipment into service that isn't compatible with current capability, is quite another.
If you weren't referring to the RAF/ARCCK when you said 'some folks weren't listening though' who were you pointing the finger at regarding Satcom and HF on the 92?
I'm not sure why you would draw a line between 'joined up UKSAR response' and 'UKSAR' but I would be interested to know which authorities you thought were behaving rather badly.
Despite your scenarios - it still seems to me that, unless you want to split hairs to satisfy whose turf is whose, the RAF effectively does have OpCon over all the SAR helos.
As it happens, I do have a great deal of respect for all our partners in UKSAR but that won't prevent me from saying when I think something could be done better - and that goes for RAFSAR as well.
