Hi

I served with Supply Sqn at St Mawgan 1979-1982.

I was there when Nimrods helped save lives during the Fastnet Boat Race disaster. What's going to do the job in future?

The depleted Navy doesn't have the airborne 'lookdown' view, has fewer vessels/capability to respond, and the Lifeboat service is being cut back..........

Or is it "We will have full capability in year xxxx" type of political garbage?

Thanks
