What Limits
I believe it was even too bad for the Islan-Dare!!
BA and Brit Mid were not flying at that silly time, Puma was 'tech', no Chinook, Lynx or screaming sperm......finally, duty auth came to the 813 crew who had been sitting in the corner of flight planning room drinking heaps of coffee (Red Bull wasn't invented then) and gave them the Rescue 140 callsign to do with it what we may. Engineers bolted in the HF set for comms and waved us on our way...................
Now that was why I enjoy helicopters.
