The 2010 SAR Meet was held at Koksijde airbase Belgium from May 17-21. Seven countries, including the host nation, attended the competition. On May 19th a winching competition was held. All units had to complete three exercises all held on the base. After the winching contest all helicopters took off for a fly-by leaving the airbase to position themselves into the SAR Meet formation. This formation made several passes then breaking up and coming back for landing and parking.
The exercise was not all about competing to become the winner but also to work to gether as a team and learning from the other participants. No team left without a price, a plaquette and 40Sm Sea King photograph. The French air force SA330B from EH 01.067 'Pyrénées' won the overall competition.
