So, to summarise - the weather at Culdrose is not great but SAR continues there anyway.

many people are sensitive to the possible loss of SAR from Culdrose - now you know how we felt at Chiv with the last contract looming - the fact is that no-one is safe.

Tourist would fail an IRT or civvy IR because he doesn't understand the concept of a precision approach or missed approach point and thinks that the requirement to go around if you don't have the required visial references at the MAPt is inconvenient.

"fudging required visual references is illegal "


Yes it is, but obeying them to the letter is not, in fact it is recommended.
It is rather worrying that you do not understand what both the letter and the meaning of the minima rules are.

Can you honestly tell me that you go around off a precision approach because though you can see the required visual references you feel you are not clear of cloud?
Call me an old fashioned IRE but your views on instrument approaches are rather worrying especially since you have been defending your actions in returning to CU rather than divert.
