Don't be so precious rope dope - you really do need to look at what you have written in the context of this thread - just because I didn't specifically mention Billy Deacon in the same sentence as I talked about the hoist is hardly reason to accuse me of not respecting his memory.
The introduction of the twin hoist did, I am sure, come as a direct result of that accident and the report but trying to canonize Bristows as SAR gods just because they were the first to have a twin hoist fitted is faintly pathetic.
Since the twin hoist was an option before the accident, you have to ask why they waited until they lost a winchman to decide to fit them - surely a forward looking company pursuing SAR excellence would have considered the what-ifs of a hoist failure and pre-empted the situation.
As for the MCA - today Swansea CG are broadcasting that they are already taking industrial action - I didn't think it was until next weekend. They are answering emergency calls at the moment but next weekend might be different since you have to have some ops room staff in the building to answer the radios and phones. Who will they get to do the job for them I wonder?
