Shared SAR resources are not a new concept.

And anyone expecting a parochial approach from Bristow is probably ignoring 60 years of the reverse.

Running a service for these islands from Dyce, Dalcross and Stornoway with some pen-pushers in Redhill and an EU/EEA border in the middle somewhere isn't rocket science. It might make the VAT returns more complicated. They have always been different legal jurisdictions anyway.
