Glad everyone made it out safe, Have to say well done to the crew, cannot have been easy ditching at night with a control restriction.

I flew out of Den Helder today on the other Tiger, G-TIGJ.

On check in at Den Helder we were offered a brief on the incident if we so wished, I went just because I am a Radio Operator and wondered if there was anything that would be useful if I ever received such a call, plus I used to work in the ARCC while in light blue and wondered about the SAR response. Nothing new to add to what has already been posted but I did notice that during our video brief you could have heard a pin drop, I dont think anyone even moved. As someone who has had to stop video briefs before on other rigs due to the guys going back to the beach just chatting while it was running it was a noticeable change. Makes me wonder why it isnt always like that.

Again, just glad that all are safe.
