Bristow SAR Operations
HM Coastguard
Over the last few years commercial
photographer Tim Wallace has
spent time with the Bristow SAR
Operation (Search And Rescue)
based at Prestwick in Scotland.
The SAR team included two state
of the art S-92 helicopter which
are the most advanced aircraft
in Sikorsky's civil product line,
with the necessary speed,
capacity and operational range
to meet the needs of the UK
search and rescue environment,
and later in July 2017 the SAR
moved over to the new
Leonardo AW189.
The AW189 aircraft is state of the
art and has the agility and flexibility
to respond to the wide spectrum of
search and rescue taskings within
the SAR operating area.
Bristow Helicopters was awarded
the contract to operate the civilian
search and rescue (SAR) helicopter
service for the UK on behalf of
Her Majesty's Coastguard in 2015.
The contract represents a
continuation of Bristow’s British
heritage of providing first-class
SAR services in the UK.
It is a great success for Bristow
Helicopters and a huge endorsement
of the company’s reputation
for excellence in SAR.
The crews are experienced and
highly skilled, and are trained,
qualified and certified to the
highest standards to coordinate
and execute SAR operations.
