greatly respected by those they help in times of great danger and need
It's amazing how people can rise to the occasion, one of our 205's was sent out to a yacht floundering in the rough waters of Bass Strait, not a SAR organisation with trained operatives, arriving on site one of the pilots, Terry Ellis, who was a good swimmer, volunteered to go into the water to give the essential aid necessary to affect the rescue, wasn't just a straight winch job. Always thought Terry should have received a medal.
