you heard right SAR is being privatised. I left Culdrose  in 2009, about a year before the SAR was put out to tender, bids came in, we had you name them on board for meetings and briefings, 'someone' won the contract for Culdrose BUT a few months later it was all put on hold. Anomalies were found in the bidding system ie: 'someone' had inside knowledge in other words corruption.

A lot of the Navy guys left, one real good guy Tony Oliver has featured on the Highland rescue programme, I knew him and his brother who also worked on Culdrose as both are bikers. From what I understood Tony was a tad disillusioned by the whole privatising issue so he left the Navy to work for the coastguard agency.
