Hmm, aren't two of those slated to go to 12 hrs?!
Indeed so. Therefore, to get 5 helos to Cumbria at night under SAR-H, you'd have to use Valley, Prestwick, Leconfield, Wattisham and Lossiemouth - leaving no available helicopter between the English Channel and the Outer Hebrides! There's progress for you...

It's a good thing that major flooding events are so rare these days
