The actual takeover of the Search and Rescue by a private company is not actually new, this was put out to contract some time back.

I am not too worried about C/G and chopper search and rescue going private, after all the RNLI is in essence a private buisness although a charity. What i have yet to fully fathom is how this new set up is going to realise a profit, it aint doing it for nothing!! one point, we will never lose the helicopter cover of RN and RAF they exist to primarily cover their service personel but have allways turned out to ''civy'' distress and i cant see that changing, eg, Scotish highlands, Cornish coastline etc,etc, HAVE A GOOD AND SAFE XMAS TO ALL.
