jivusajob - sadly the firghtened teenagers in their aluminium death tubes don't bang out half as often as they used to so we have to make do with rescuing joe public from all sorts of silly places.

Public transport can't fly if the cloudbase is below 1500' at night ? shock horror!! Or do you mean those without an IR and a suitably equipped machine. It would make the MCA SAR job difficult otherwise.

Yup - winching is hovering.....only really, really good hovering
