Gannet has always been a busy unit, way back in the 80's when the SAR was formed proper! They carry out a variety of challenges, mountain rescue, sea/diving incidents, moronic holiday makers plummeting down 'hills. All makes towards an interesting day!!

RAF valley saves more people than Gannet as the Welsh haven't learned how to roger sheep properly like the Scots.:-D
