On to people then TC - the present allocation of SAR flights in the UK has the RAF with 6, the MCA with 4 and the RN with 2.
How then does Bristow justify their plan to have each flight split one third RAF, one third MCA and one third RN? How does that keep the level of SAR expertise and knowledge where it is now?
What does that tell you about Bristow remaining a Navy club, especially since some posts are being filled with very recent ex-RN who are being called civilian?
Not a great plan for producing a world-leading and marketable SAR service of the underlying ethic of the crews is 'SAR is a secondary role and anyone can do it'.
