As result of the closure of Manston on the north Kent coast, the planned SAR service there needed a new home. On a temporary basis, SAR services commenced from Lydd in Aug 2015 and it was announced in Apr 2016 that this would become the permanent base for the life of the current contract.
Works began for a new, modular, 2 airframe SAR base and hangar in Jun 2017.
