750 Squadron conducts flying training in the Jetstream T Mark 2, a radar equipped version of the civilian Series 200 Jetstream. The aircraft is powered by two Turbomeca Astazou 16D turbo-prop engines, giving a maximum speed of 214 knots at sea level and a service ceiling of 25,000 feet. The minimum crew is one pilot and an observer, but there is a third crew seat in the cockpit and two radar/navigation consoles on the right hand side of the cabin from where the students conduct most of their training. Three additional seats are also available, giving the aircraft a normal passenger capacity of six. Combined with the aircraft's four hour endurance and 1000 mile range, this makes it a useful personnel carrier and the Squadron is often tasked in this role.
Since all these Jetstreams have a capable surface Radar (Same as the Sea king I think) then could these Aircraft not be deployed to take some of the SAR duties that the MR2 currently has? Ok, i would think some some Mods such as losing one of the Nav Consoles and also a method of deploying Life saving equipment would have to be figured out but there going to be available soon and it may relieve the Nimrods of precious flying hours.
Just a thought
