Glad all OK.
Tourist
Please put yourself in the position of the Lynx crew - probably just survived a truly terrifying ordeal (maybe only thought about it after the event - they were probably too busy to think at the time). The Lynx does not float so well, even in a controlled ditching, so they probably had little time to get out - specially more difficult for the third crew member stuck in the tiny cabin in the back, so just to get out is an enormous relief.
So, a minute or two ago you were flying around happy as larry and suddenly the world goes crazy, your heart rate goes through the roof, massive anxiety followed by relief that you got out. There you are bobbing up and down in your tiny life raft (or not maybe), and a big grey and red helo comes over the horizon. I would surmise it is the most wonderful feeling imaginable. 71 flights are on the CVS for HDS and SAR so they did their job yes, and maybe its not AFCs all round but it is nice to know there is an organic system in place to help out those aircrew deployed away on the frontline.
Oggin.
Well done 71.
p.s. any sharks in that part of the world? That would make the appearance of a SAR asset even more comforting!
