Search and Rescue 2011 Apr 13 - Apr 14 2011
First held in 1998, Shephard’s Search and Rescue conference and exhibition has developed a global reputation for being the essential gathering for SAR professionals.
This high-profile event has been supported by the RNLI, HM Coast Guard, US Coast Guard, and the European Helicopter Association; it provides the largest international gathering of SAR experts in Europe.
