Another Lynx tragedy and whatever the cause made even worse by the fact that they were out trying to help others. All this and just before Christmas. Thoughts and prayers with the RN Lynx community and their families.
As an aside does anyone know whether the SAR helos from Culdrose were scrambled for the initial man overboard call or only once the Lynx went missing. One would have thought that a dedicated SAR unit only 20 miles away would have been the obvious asset to use. Was the Lynx scrambled from a ship or from Culdrose?
Also, unless I'm mistaken I believe the usual crew for a RN lynx is 2. I assume they had supplemented the crew to assist with the search. Prayers therefore too to the ships company.
