I am not a former SAR person but I for one am sad that it seems the RAF SAR service will be allowed to just fade away. I have had the pleasure of being a customer by way of dinghy drills and, as a stude at Valley, being a live target for SARTU. I also had the privilege of flying with them when I was doing (groan) Command Accounts Inspections at Valley in the late 80s (only way I could get in to look at the SARTU non public funds!). So on behalf of all, thanks guys and girls for a job extraordinarily well done over very many years. You can truly sign the auth sheets "DCO".
