Gordy - I completely get all the HEC stuff and for that a winch is not required - pulling a casualty out of the water however, especially at night, is a different matter altogether. How many of your HEC pax are injured, unconscious or otherwise not fit and healthy?

No, I was in NI doing support helo stuff in 85 but heard lots of unpleasant stories about fishing all those bodies from the sea. Had my own experiences of that in later years doing UKSAR
