| description | The Royal Air Force (RAF) operates a helicopter Search and Rescue (SAR) service in the
United Kingdom and territorial waters; it also provides a similar service in several
locations abroad. A 10-year retrospective study of the SAR helicopter service operating
from the RAF base at Valley on the island of Anglesey in North Wales is presented, with
national SAR statistics over a similar period provided for comparison.
Analysis of records kept by SAR aircrew at RAF Valley shows that their assistance had
been requested on 1490 occasions during the 10-year period studied; most of these requests
were the result of incidents involving holidaymakers, particularly in the mountains or
along the coast. The results illustrate the versatility and life-saving potential of a
highly-skilled and motivated service able to work in adverse weather and dangerous
locations. In the light of current debate, the value of aeromedical evacuation of
seriously ill patients using helicopters is discussed. |
