History of Royal Navy Helicopter Search and Rescue : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of Royal Navy Helicopter Search and Rescue
The History of Royal Navy Helicopter Search and Rescue has its roots in the adoption by the Royal Navy of helicopters in the plane guard role. From a purely military tasking Royal Navy squadrons came to share the provision of search and rescue SAR coverage for the United Kingdom with the Royal Air Force and commercial providers under contract to Her Majesty's Coastguard, being responsible for two sectors out of twelve. From 2015 both the RAF and the Navy will surrender the civilian SAR role to contractors operating on behalf of the Coastguard. == Early SAR == Royal Navy Search and Rescue had been conducted by helicopters at sea since their introduction on warships. It was decided in 1953 to provide a dedicated helicopter Search and Rescue capability for downed Fleet Air Arm pilots from their home shore establishments. The first Royal Navy Air Stations to stand up their SAR units in 1953 were: * RNAS Anthorn (HMS Nuthatch) * RNAS Brawdy (HMS Goldcrest) * RNAS Culdrose (HMS Seahawk) * RNAS Eglinton (HMS Gannet) * RNAS Ford (HMS Peregrine) * RNAS Gosport (HMS Siskin) * RNAS Lossiemouth (HMS Fulmar) The Westland Dragonfly would remain in service in the SAR role with the Royal Navy, alongside the Westland Whirlwind, until 1964. The Whirlwind had a greater range of 300 nm and was faster with a Vmax of 95kts. More complicated rescues would also be undertaken by the Whirlwinds with their increased crew size and rescue capabilities. The Whirlwind HAR.5 had space to rescue 8 people.
