Longest ever rescue mission, I don,t think so
Surely Pete Rosie,s well documented SAR job to Ascension Island in the late 80,s must rate as the longest ever from ISK
Can,t remember the exact date but he definately spent at least a week (flying every day) looking for a lost delivery pilot, and eventually found him ( albeit sadly, not alive)
Memories appear to getting even shorter, to keep the journo,s happy these days.
Good effort by all at ISK though
