Just to add, heard the Newquay S92 go out early this morning to rescue 6 fishermen from a boat off Lands End in 6M waves and very strong winds.
Great job guys
Would be interested to see what a cadet would make of that job watching the winchman trying to get aboard and thinking 'Oooer, that could be me next time'
How is a cadet background any different to any other TC background when faced with a big deck for the first time?
You train, then you do, then you train more. In SAR you hope on every mission that the training has prepared you sufficiently for the task you are faced with and have to be prepared to be adaptable and inventive when it hasn't.
