now we are talking proper old-fashioned military SAR
Crab, not just the military! Civvy Portland operated out of a condemned, by the Navy, hangar, and portacabins for getting on ten years. With a two/three month spell with the aircraft getting its TLC from the Engineers out of doors. Great days. Pretty much like the early days of BHL in the Falklands.
Off at a tangent... With a purpose built faciilty at Portland only ten years old! Why build another at Lydd? Surely with these new super fast, warp speed, two places at once helicopters, then Lee could stay in place as could Portland?? Money saving for everyone!!!!!
