Two points:
The RS60 SAR - not that long ago SAR got airborne in rather less than that.... SAR standby, for Nim crews, had already been somewhat reduced from what it had been in the past, with crews in the mess and so forth for the duration after a morning on the Sqn. (This is not a criticism or anything like that of the crews, I might add). The SAR fry up breakfast was particularly welcome after a long, uninterrupted kip in the mess. (Hearts were shattered if the hooter went and messed the breakfast ritual up).
114 POB - where the Nimrod would have really come into its own is if they'd all had to abandon ship, and the race to winch everyone to safety had required multiple helos, nearby shipping to be conned in, flight deconfliction of the helos, and so forth. Luckily not needed this time, but there is a worrying feeling in my bones, at least, that it's a matter of when rather than if.
