I learned two bits of disturbing news on Tuesday night from our Day Skipper lecturer; not only has the Tyne-Tees coastguard been turned from a manned station into a relay station (we're now covered by Humber or Firth of Forth CGs), but also and more worrying, anyone who dives our North-east coast should know that the MOD are threatening to close RAF Boulmer in Northumberland, home of 202 SAR Squadron. One of our local newspapers has a campaign to fight the closure but unfortunately there does not seem to be any details available on their website. I have 'phoned The Journal for more details and will post on here when I know more
