August 2019 Ops 1 and 2 were not seen, the water rescue craft was there but I believe that it is coming off the run as the duties are going to carried out by the Lifeboat and Coastguard. There are also two trailers, a Dry Powder Unit and an Emergency Support Unit.
Seven of HIAL's 11 airports have water rescue provision, including rescue crafts, a jet ski and a mud rescue team. They are at Sumburgh, Barra, Benbecula, Dundee, Islay, Kirkwall and Stornoway.
