Nr Fairy,
No, although I was actually involved with clearing up after that accident.
I was referring to the cable-cutter on an aircraft not operating properly because the guillotine had been fitted in-line with the hoist cable, rather than across its length. If memory serves me right that occurred during the SAROp on the MV 'Green Lilly', but I might have confused 2 separate events.

Yes, they certainly had an action-packed day out! Can't remember who the whole crew was, but one of their number recently handed in his issue watch & has just started flying for the CivPol, good luck to him.
