Of all the digs we have had at NPAS, this has to be the lamest.
No Silsoe... this is just the LATEST...!!

Give me a break.. get the military in for a job like this in under an hour..!!
Your having a laaaff..
Maybe if its within 10 miles of hereford.. but anywhere else and your stuffed..

As far as SAR are concerned, they work on 15 min readiness during the day and 45 min at night... to get airborne..!!

The military are good are what they do, but this isnt it..!!

So sorry old bean, the best/only airborne resource is actually the locally based Police a/c with crews that no know the area, the comms, the procedures and the cops.

Shame theyre all going really..!!!
what a cluster ****
