So, now it is complete.
During my military flying career I was always reassured by the totally professional back-up of the SAR crews.
As a sprog FJ pilot I held with the 202 Flight at RAF Brawdy as a "Day and Night" Duty Dummy. My logbook might not record the qualification or, the half-drowned hours of playing as an "unconscious" ,a "floater" or a "fighter" "survivor". But, what I leaned then, was the sheer skill and CRM that made the SAR crews so good!
Thanks guys, for the sheer bloody good job!

The Torygraph article has been updated by Andy English who wrote the original a couple of years ago.
the demise of RAF SAR
Nice article from the Torygraph.
A simple way of looking at this, according to Flt Lt Jon “Jevs” Evans, is to think of the rotor as a disc with a big lift arrow coming out of the top; the cyclic tilts this arrow in the desired direction and the collective makes it bigger or smaller – the yaw pedals just keep you pointing in the right direction.

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!
