Apologies for the foray into this thread, but it seems the most appropriate place to ask.

Does anyone know how the new SAR fleet will operate in to airfields such as Caernarfon which have no instrument approach?
I've heard mention that GPS let downs will be used - however CAA rules dictate that this has to be overseen by ATC or AFISO (Caernarfon is Air/Ground), and in any case, in the case of Caernarfon there are two pretty big wind turbines on the airfield.

Anyone know ?
