Remember that when the SAR contracts were first let to the "civvies" that the a/c of choice was a B212 which had little more capability than the pre 350 days a/c. i.e. the Huey.
Not so - In fact, they were fitted with a basic auto-hover system called a Louis Newmark - LN-450 and a GNS-500 RNAV, SCAS, Bendix Wx Radar.

Whilst very out dated now, not bad for a 'civvy' out fit then.
