I don't think wet and windy is exclusive territory for SAR helos.
No it's not. Landing in ad-hoc field locations on NVG in weather well below most operators' weather limits is somewhat challenging though.
The guys were a little caught out. Cut them some slack, most of us have been there if not somewhere close. I don't remember too many civvy SAR types jumping on Prune every time there was a slightly 'embarrassing' incident for military SAR.
I think people are getting a touch bored with the sour grapes from some quarters. Time to move on.
