Pardon me for pointing out the bleeding obvious, but what the hell was he doing calling rescue services in Vienna, thousands of miles away?? Surely it would have made much more sense to put out a Mayday on his way down, or even to call 999 when on the ground.
That phone call must have been great fun!

"Hallo, Austrian Rescue? You dont know me ich think, but I vos hoping you could rescue me??"

"Keine problem mein freunde, ill send the helicopters straight away. Vere are you by ze vay?"

"Somevere in sodding Scotland"

ETC
