Of course, not just Nimrod at ISK.

With the closure of the base, will the MRT move over to Lossie and if it does, is there even enough volunteers over there to fully man the Team?

I know that their primary role is the rescue of downed aircrew, but how big a gap would their departure from the MRT service leave?

I would guess that the gov't are not prepared to stump up the cash for a full time team in situ so i guess that this will be another asset removed, core skills lost and lives (Service and civlian) put at risk and probably lost.

Has anyone got any good news?

ps are the US P3s still at ISK - thought Joint Warrior had finished?
