My first SAR tour too; the most challenging and enjoyable of my entire RAF career. It was a privilege to work at D Flt and is where I learnt my continued and utmost respect for those brave and selfless souls in the 'Knapsack and Bovril Brigade' - MRTs, civilian and military, throughout the UK.
The end of an era... Onwards and upwards... Hope you all still have a good send off despite what the Fun Police have dictated.
From a dyed-in-the-wool Yellow-hatted war-dodging bed-wetting SAR-buoy.
