Bring back the RAF Sea King for SAR operations

Closed 46 signatures

What the petition asks

The search and rescue (SAR) operations which are carried out by 202 Sqn at RAF Boulmer have saved many lives in the NE of England. But now it is being privatised and anyone in the NE of England will have to wait an extra hour for any air rescue! This will cause more fatalities so we need it back!
