So the military are not going to fly any helicopters at all?

We will, as is the case now. The path the money takes is just a bit
different.

I think the point is that currently there are RAF helicopter pilots
and related teams who have developed particular skills in flying
rescue work. These may well now trasfer in one way or another to
Bristow. That will work for the short term but the future services'
helicopter pilots will not be specialised in SAR. so there will be a
training short fall.
