Rejected petition Keep the UK Military Search and Rescue Service

More details

This year the RAF celebrated 70 years of rescue service to the country and its people. Lets not throw it away. Remember the 'mess' over the French contract for a new provider?

The Department for Transport has started the procurement process for a new UK-wide Search and Rescue helicopter service to be provided by civilian crews, it has been announced today.

We want the government to keep the Military search and rescue capability.
