SAR Owl.

That's encouraging to hear but I'm willing to bet that it's down to individuals going beyond the basic currency requirements and in doing so, going the extra mile to create the conditions that will permit that training (eg safety boat for night wets). It is the currency requirement that is important because it has to cater for those that like to achieve the bare minimum. Therefore if that currency requirement doesn't include night wets (and it won't) then there is an enormous deficiency in training that will only show up when a rescue attempt fails or is refused. Message to future fast jet pilots - I'd eject over land at night if I were you.
