A very small sample and no more than 20 miles off shore (UK south coast)
but on three occasions: 30 mins, 35 mins, and didn't arrive after 1 hour

20 mins, 25 mins ( it also took about 7 mins to load the patient onto
the helicopter)

10 mins, 10 mins
There is also nothing more anoying than watching a helicopter which
you _know_ is searching for you, flying off 90 degrees in the wrong
direction despite radio contact relayed via the coast guard. I put it
down to the giro compass having to stabalise !!
