I guess the OP did care and did not mean to cause offence so if I offended him I apologise. The RAF cutbacks ref SAR have hit the way we do our business hard and the use of international assets is vital for the success of the majority of our Atlantic crossing. We could not operate without them actually. I guess my point was thank goodness they were rescued who ever achieved the task.
When you served ( I assume you did otherwise you wouldn't post on the military forum) perhaps things were alot better.
