If that isn't a vote-loser I don't know what is
Eh?? Outside our tiny forum, hardly anyone cares about SAR. 90% of the population have never even seen a SAR helicopter, let alone needed to be rescued by one. Of all the problems facing the politicos (and the general population), SAR-H is a tiddler so don't expect them to care!
If there are no votes in defence, there are certainly no votes in SAR!
you just have to live with what you get
Sad but very true...
