Navy at Culdrose cover any SAR in the area, RAF Seakings at St Mawgan were part of Seaking training unit based there. Now at Valley? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now at Valley?Dave yes mate, now at Valley, and operated by civvies unfortunately. 203® sqn is the Sea King OCU, it has only flown operationally very few times, the last during the 2007 Gloucester floods. as has been said, SAR cover for the south west is from Culdrose and Chivenor.
