So far we have someone saying the crew ditched because they ran out of fuel, another saying they were picked up by a ship, then another states that 771 aren't even on the carrier.
What a shambles.
How about:
Lynx crew cocked up fuel calculations on a cavok day? ditched peacefully alongside the next nearest boat, boat helps them onboard. SAR cab launches from mother ship to merchant boat and winches up crew, RTB!
The merchant ship should have kept steaming south if you ask me...pilot might be better off down there
