Who's fault is it we have a ten base plan, not the contractor.
I appreciate there may be areas when the 'local' cab is in use leaving a large gap but unfortunately this is deemed an acceptable risk. This is not what the families of a victim wants to hear I appreciate but I also understand the economics behind the plan after all it would not prove financially viable to have a rescue helicopter every 30 miles for instance.
Remember the SAR(H) program allowed for 12 bases but that was 'supposedly' scuppered by Crabs ex colleague. It's a shame as this would have been better. Unlike an RAF officer (ex) to ruin the party!
