Ummm... the article says "38 seconds from take-off to arriving at the scene".

I know what the thread title says, but let's not forget where the article says;


The five-member crew of the RAF Sea King .....

[Biggus]

So, what exactly are the five crew positions...?

[PURPLE PITOT]

3 sitting, one crouching, one dangling!:ok:

[taxydual]

Captain, Co, Winch Operator, Winchman and Valet.

As any fule kno.

[Basil]

Emergency window release instructions could do with re-arranging a bit.
Not at all clear for someone with no aviation experience.

[Biggus]

It was the fifth person I was querying..... valet eh?

[Squirrel 41]

Ok, so it's the usual standard of SKY reportage ("SKY - Never Wrong For Long"), but give the Flt Lt a break - he's got himself a proper job and he seems to be doing it well. Good for him!

S41

[Courtney Mil]

Well done to him and his crew!!!

[Fareastdriver]

When he was first posted to Valley there was an unofficial warning pushed out that if any publicity seeking dolly wanted to get into the papers by being rescued by Prince William she had better have a load of dosh in her bank.

I think these girls' piggy banks are safe enough.

[Bob the Doc]

Does he have a Personal Protection Officer on board with him? Might account for the extra POB

[NutLoose]

Probably Prince Harry, he appears of late to follow him round like a lost puppy.

Could the fifth crew member have been the helicopter version of this one? (http://www.prnewswire.co.uk/news-releases/justin-case-helps-to-deter-attacks-on-lone-drivers-156641915.html) ;)

[Rigga]

...but would this one merit a medal? After all, it got into the papers (well, some of them...).

But.........Whatever the mick take, the guys did the job. As the SAR boys usually do. Thank God we have them.

[DX Wombat]

Wizard - that's what I was looking for but couldn't remember where it was from. :(
As for SAR crews - they are simply the best and long may they continue to provide their wonderful service. As taxydual said: Thank God we have them.
