Very well aware that what is now "SAR Flight" at Gannet do not have NVG, and I also know how happy they are about this, NOT! Also very familiar with the almost disastrous consequences of this last year, if you are who you say, you will know exactly what I am talking about. In my many years of working with colleagues from Gannet have never experienced this Us and Them attitude you seem to have.

You will also know that the number of jobs any unit does is not up to them but is simply down to the nearest unit being called by RCC, for many years I seem to remember Lossie was the busiest SAR unit. Busy does not necessarily mean best, or most demanding tasks, it can but the two things don't always go together. Some of the best SAR pilots and crews are based at "quiet" units.

One final point, as we all, navy and air force, work for the same Admiral, and maybe even more closely in the future, who's to say, you might want to get a little more "joint" about this. We are all a lot stronger when we work for each other, rather than against.

Life of Brian..

"Comrades, we should all be fighting together!!"

"We ARE fighting together.."

Reminds me of NI 1993 when the AAC and RAF joined forces against the common enemy...The RN

K.I.I.T
Banter:- Good natured ribbing of others engendering team spirit and a feeling of belonging.
Throwing toys from pram:- failing to notice aforesaid banter and overreacting.
