GG,
No not drinking but just tired of seeing what was once an excellent SAR Force being run down by MOD?Government and I am convinced that if you let it be run by the people who are in it we couldn't do a worse job.
And if you brought in the Air Ambulance then they could all get properly funded, proper SOPs could be worked out between us all and we would end being able to provide a better cover for the people who actually need it.
Hopefully it would prevent situations such as i once saw at Chivenor, where the Exeter Air Ambualnce flew to chivenor Airfield to pick up a woman who had broken her leg nearly 1 mile from the SAR Flight and take her to Barnstable hospital and then come into the SAR Flight for fuel before returning to Exeter. Absolutely ludicrous, wouldn't you agree?
