Little bit late, but seeing as I've still not edited shots from RIAT 15 or 16 yet, it could be worse!
Last October I made the short hop, with a couple of the other staffers, across the channel to Belgium for the International SAR Meet at Koksijde. It was a promising event with some tasty participants announced, from an Aeronavale NH90, Norwegian Sea King to Portuguese Merlin as well as some Mi-8/17s. Alas, very close the event an announcement went out to state that many of the participants had cancelled. A kick in the nether regions indeed, as (for many attendees) all of the star items were included in those cancellations.
Nevertheless the few items that did participate gave a good showing and we were treated to a superb SAR demo from the Belgian NH.90 as well as the Belgian Sea King, but the Belgian Politie (rather ironically) stole the show at the end of the day with a demo of their own... Let's say the separation to the crowdline was, erm, minimal.
Enough from me, on with the pictures!

Missed these first time around. Nice shots. Would love to see a Belgian NH90 SAR Demo at RIAT this year...
