Maybe this is a stupid question, but is the clause "You can only use Air Rescue once per game" necessary, since you can only lose a friendly aircraft for the first time once?
It prevents the SA from being used by multiple Walrus' in the game. This is a fairly common condition of victory point SAs.

With a design lineage that stretched back to 1920, the Supermarine Walrus was initially designated Seagull Mk.V for the Royal Australian Navy. Eventually Walruses saw service in 9 navies and airforces. The refined design proved to be effective and flexible. Conducting scouting and anti-submarine duties. But is best remembered for is maritime-rescue role, saving over a thousnd downed aircrew. Though a replacement was developed, the Supermarine Sea Otter, walruses continued to operate throughout the war and after. Though thier roles were increasingly taken by radar and helicopters.
Can we make this unit cost -2? As in if you take this, you get 2 extra points??😉
Also why can't we just make this a card based SA that can be attached to a British BB or CA/CC? Nation specific SA'S already exists in W@S. This would also bring the UK's ships more in line with the US's point values.
Since we seem to be doing each nations version of this i.e. AR196, Jake etc.
The only problem I can see is how it would be abused. Since its sea based you could take multiples to get -4, -6, -8 or more points.
