The Defence Economics (DASA) numbers always had a list for number of incidents and a list for number of callouts. It appears to be the number of callouts for the MCA/BHL numbers in the article.

One might speculate that differences in shift times and other details might affect how aircraft were deployed by ARCC but that would tend to be marginal. There will have been a few where R951 have attended only to be replaced by R177 on the basis of low light capability. Does that count as a job?
