Huey,
The SK has been an overwhelmingly Navy asset; I guess the Navy
PR machine was happy to help - and a good job they did too. Of course the RAF SAR guys have done some gnarly rescues but the programme was only an hour....The RAF can't really complain given the coverage the Chinook has had over the past few years.
WEBF,
It was referenced but it's not as public friendly as SAR. As Tourist said there might be a few questions asked within the Bagger community though....
Nice to see the Queenie get her moment in the sun. Having flown her a bit, she's not bad for a 'half-helicopter'!
