PIN machine on the end of the line, SATCOM to check funds, hefty admin charge or alternately buy your SAR-H insurance policy - that'll sort out the funding deficit!

SAR H
Over the past 20 years i have had a good insight to SAR from RAF RN COASTGUARD and BOND whats wrong is while civi and mod are all spouting at each other whos the best whats the best, it would be much better if everyone got round the table and seen eye to eye.
1 proper helicopter
2 TRAINING
I would like to thanks all the sar crews for there work and indeed r131 for rescueing me in april
RAF founded SAR and has took it to a new level which we should be proud of and learn and help each other
Coastguard in shetland with the idea of the pumps in a container is the best idea i have seen
And the latest seaside rescue has shown the use of the hi-line with r193 which could be used better
Bond i was involved as a guy off the street with there training and they are starting to improve they need good training project
I would like to thank and praise all sar crews round the UK we have the bestin the world dont blow it

Full marks to CHC Stornoway, when a pump was needed the politics were put aside:

As I am supposed to be the expert, the blokes down the pub will be asking me what all the racket around the Bridge of Don area in Aberdeen was at around 2 o'clock this morning.
I initially thought it was a Sea King holding until the ARI was ready but it kept coming back again as if it was involved in a search.
An explanation would be nice to zip up the moaners.

Search launched for missing man
An RAF helicopter was called in to help the search
A major search has been launched for a man missing in Aberdeen.
A search helicopter from RAF Lossiemouth was called in overnight, along with coastguard and lifeboat crews, after Gary Cheyne vanished.
The 43-year-old is said to be "vulnerable" and police said they were genuinely concerned for his safety.
He is described as 5ft 3in tall, stocky, with greying receding hair. He walks with a shuffle. Grampian Police appealed for him to make contact.
The alarm was raised when Mr Cheyne was reported missing from a friend's address in the Seaton area of the city.
He was last spotted at about 2220 BST on Tuesday night in the King Street and Ellon Road area.
When last seen he was wearing a blue/red jacket, a white jumper, and either dark blue jeans or tracksuit bottoms.

Question:
How does a helicopter search for a man, in a city, at night?
I have done cliff searches at night for said people, but in a city??????????????? How does THAT work?
Si
P.S. How does this relate to SARH going? Or am I being a spoilsport

BigglesButler - I don't know the area but the 'Bridge of Don' sounds like the sort of coastal or waterway area more suited to the MCA and helicopter searching rather than the middle of a city
Unfortunately, as soon as there is any likelihood that the 'vulnerable' person may have entered or is likely to enter the water, the MCA get involved and then so do we.

Yes, I was shocked to find out the other day that the phone companies charge the police for pinging mobiles and in some cases we are talking hundreds of pounds - hence a hard-up police force is less likely to ask for the ping!
Yes, and the results are not exactly brilliant. Usually something like "within a 1.5 mile radius of such and such mast". I found a company a few years ago who could pinpoint a phone down to 100m, but they needed the permission of the phone owner to do it.

The Bridge of Don is coastal, with a bridge of the river Don - as it reaches the sea. It is also unfortunately (?) the largest surburb in Europe! Population of something over 22,000 and more houses than you should have to think about.
Having said that there are a number of large open areas - particularly along the coast - where a helicopter would be practical to use and most of the 22,000 would hear it!

I used to live on the said King Street, and know both areas of Aberdeen well. That would be a very difficult area to search by helicopter..... infact the crew would have been better going by the works Astra. Assuming the press have the search area correctly stated
the crew would have been better going by the works Astra
Will there be the chance for such close crew co-operation under SAR-H? I think we should be told...
