So, now it is complete.![Sad](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/puppy_dog_eyes.gif)
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!![Thumb](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/thumbs.gif)
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!
