UK Coastgaurd SAR - Bristow Out
Crab
And since when have SAR been out in Bosnia and Iraq. Did not realise there were a lot of fishing boats and climbers out there.
As for Angel on the wire's escepade, at least he walked away from it albeit with a few bruises. What about the vValley winchman last year where the second aircraft had to come and rescue him after he was very badly damaged on a deck during training.
And I have done SAR on both sides of the fence especially at the premier Northern RAF SAR flight and not the the pre madonna world of Chivenor!
