Sound advice Guv, the crew of Pelican 16 did just that when they Pancaked into the desert in Mauritania and were found by a co-incidental UN Orion patrolling, they were able to fire off some of the destroyed Shackletons oils and tyres to alert the Orion crew, all were recued later that same day by land vehicles and choppers( from the crash site in the middle of a war zone) lucky chaps, all safely got back to S Africa.
Including "Potty Potgieter" one of the nicest men I have ever met!
