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.

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.
