I was reading this article and trying to work out what this system would be used for, and why the RAF would need such a system (which no one else seems to have either from what I can gather). Any ideas?

There are other uses beside SF insertion, SPAG for instance.

Would it be anything to do with the Hercules taking over SAR duties after the retirement of the Nimrod MR2?
Possible but unlikely. I would have guessed more along Distiller’s lines.

There have been a few special forces operations where they would come in by air/sea, and leave by a different route, depending on the scenario. In the Falklands there was a plan to drop the SAS in Argentina using Sea Kings going under radar, then the SAS leaving on foot into Chile.
