Evalman Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 At 0900 Hrs on New Years Day, 771 Squadron at RNAS Culdrose stood down from its Search and Rescue commitment and handed over to Bristows. Three days earlier on the 29th December three local lifeboats (Penlee, Lizard and Falmouth) gathered at Kilcobben Cove on the Lizard for one final joint exercise with 771 Squadron. The event was publicised on the local radio and via social media and a small crowd turned out to witness the exercise. The Squadron is due to stand down at the end of March 2016. And finally here is 'Coastguard 924' working up at Newquay earlier in December. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evalman Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Thanks for looking, glad someone found them interesting. The S92 is an impressive machine, hopefully we'll see a kit eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moaning dolphin Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Tis a sad day that the military SAR endeth and the red/grey mighty King will no longer be a regular above the Cornish (and indeed Scottish) skies. But time moves on and no doubt over time the S-92 will be as recognizable in those skies. I would fancy a kit of it as well. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
