handing it over to civvies to make daily failings
In spite of or maybe because of my thirty RAF years, 21 in SAR, I have no objection to 'handing over to civvies'. In fact I'm surprised that it didn't happen over twenty years earlier. What would concern me if I were still involved in aviating as opposed to yachting would be handing it over to a Coast Guard who recruit ops staff straight 'off the street' without any aviation (or maritime) background.
