[Milsurplus] SARAH?

SARAH - Search And Rescue And Homing

The purpose of the Sarah equipment is to assist in the location of the 
survivors of a wrecked craft

The complete SARAH equipment comprises

(1) A man-carried automatic distress beacon
(2) A search equipment which may be installed in either an aircraft or a 
launch

I have about 6 pages ( out of a British surplus publication called Govt. 
Surplus Wireless Equipment Handbook) that I can try to scan into a file 
if required.

I have the Automatic distress Beacon in my collection
