I haven't heard much response on how the rescue took place, and would be interested if anyone knows the timescale of the rescue.
I was of the (seemingly incorrect) impression that the Surface Vessel had been onsite within minutes (being that it is based at the Etap) and done the lions share of the rescue. The helicopter I guess would take 10 minutes to scramble and 20 minutes to reach the scene. Nimrod about 45 minutes (not that it will be able to do much other than observe, film and co-ordinate) and SAR assets such as Lossie and Sumburgh were enroute, but I'm assuming about 1hr 40 to get to the scene.
Any accurate info would be appreciated.
