Congrats to Gannet SAR

[sargod]

Well done to Gannet Search and Rescue Flt, Prestwick,Scotland
For being once again busiest SAR unit in the country. 250 jobs for 2004, keep it up Boys and Girls the world, ok Scotland is a safer place with you around!!!!

[Special 25]

Are the Press / PR Department at Gannet a very modest bunch - I regularly see flag waving about all the adventures at Stornoway, Sumburgh and Lossiemouth. SAR bases on the south coast seem to regularly get programmes made about them, and poor old Prestwick hardly seems to get a 2 line article on page 7 of the Daily Record. Now we hear that they are the busiest SAR unit in the country - Where did this come from ??

Anyway, keep up the good work lads - Even if you do want to keep it quiet !

In my day they were the busiest because they always sent 2 cabs. One to do the rescue the other to carry the press

Shouldn't we rather be congratulating them for being the quietest SAR Flight?? After all, if they were launching more times than any one else doesn't that mean more lives were in peril??


Definate well done guys for doing your job but congrats for being busy...

Don't think that applies.

Point of order

As far as i know there is no PR team at Prestwick as it a V small base, as for congrats... well if it was me stuck on a mountain i think i would rather have an on the ball Flt coming to get me than an armchair happy crew ( sorry wattisham ). I'm sure these guys would rather not risk their lives nearly everyday for some sole in trouble but it goes with the job and Gannet has the large area to cover. I'm sure these guys don't need a camera crew with them to know what a good job they do!!!
