PELS - Update?
I recently attended a survival equipment brief and asked about PELS. The answer given was that it was delayed (same as for the last few years) which was not encouraging.
I have also discovered that the RAF SAR Force have purchased 406 PLBs for their crews seperately to the PELS programme. As someone who operates significantly further from rescue services than the yellow-jobs, I have a keen interest in potential self-preservation!
Does anyone have an update on PELS? Thanks.
