Milo,
You're obviously fishing, so I'll bite. as the previous post said, it's the French sector and don't worry about Culdrose; there are plenty of assets here to carry out SAR. Don't forget during the fastnet disaster we were launching more than just 771 cabs.
Valley doesn't have the spare assets we have and they couldn't have done anything about that.
As for the Seaking; don't forget that the Yanks are buying over a hundred carson worked S61 models for the future medium lift gap they have, not bad for an aircraft first flown so many years ago.

Cheers now
