If you have Sky TV then you can go to channel 971 upwards to select BBC for any region. I mainly use this when I want to see a more in depth local news story out of my area.

Saw the first one wednesday evening, focussed mostly on the Valley Unit, and a bit about HRH William whom it seems fits quite well in amongt the rest of the guys. I did not realise that the two Welsh units at Valley and Chivenor were between them, the busiest ones in the UK. It was an interesting bit, quite enjoyed it.

That was my initial thought but they did specify RAF SAR flights when mentioning that stat.
