Re: How would a downed pilot be picked up quickly?

When we had Nimrods they were able to drop life rafts to ditched crews, I think by chucking them out of the back door. For the chosen air-to-air refuelling option do the tankers accompany the tankees? Could they drop life rafts if required? I should think that life expectancy increases dramatically if you can get out of the water.
