That's an amazing story; you saved lives, an extraordinary achievement. I for one would be happy to read a full account of the first incident
There is nothing to add to the tale really. The ditched aircraft was fitted with floats and was retrieved by a work boat and back in the air by at least 11th February when I first flew it following the ditching. The folks hopped into a life raft for the winching and at no time was it a dramatic life saving event, just a repeat of what we did in training. A correction, the fault was in the blade grip, not the yoke as I said. Photo of one aircraft.
