BBC South West have been covering the forthcoming closure of SAR from RNAS Culdrose. Yesterday they featured a farewell visit to the Scillies by a Sea King of 771 Sqn, which has been a lifeline for the islanders over the years. They interviewed a woman who gave birth in a Sea King en route to hospital on the mainland!

I think the public need to have their fears about the demise of RAF/RN SAR dealt with by a bit more publicity - one woman was worried that the HM Coastguard replacement choppers might not be allowed to fly at night!
