The MoD provides declared SAR facilities to cover military operations, exercises and training within the UK SRR. Although these resources are established primarily for military purposes, it is MoD policy to render assistance whenever possible to other persons, aircraft or vessels in distress. Where the coverage provided by military SAR assets meets the civil SAR requirement, they will be made available for civil aeronautical, maritime and land-based SAR operations.


Hmmmm, so when SAR is civilianised, will rescue of downed military aircrew be on a "whenever possible" basis ? Just askin
