Thank you to all responders, first and subsequent! What I thought but hoped for an opinion from the Swansea based guys.
All inputs gratefully received - there seems to be a good deal of apathy amongst the good folk of Pembrokeshire. Many haven't woken up to the fact that there won't be a Sea King next year (although we should be getting Civsar at Swansea) and misinformation from the health board and deafening silence from the Welsh Assembly helps fuel this complacency.
