My contacts in engineering deny any involvement in this.
One of those winched down was an emergency hairdresser called out to assist the captain. The other was a councillor to offer assistance to the cojo, traumatised after a night on the rig with the afore mentioned captain.
A supply boat had to be diverted to the rig as food supplies had run dangerously low during the night.
An attempt by the airforce to drop emergency supplies of Cadburys Roses failed.
