Great scenery shots

How about that scenery over in the Lakes? Great filming from castle Air. The Dauphin looks really sleek flying against the backdrop of the hills. I believe the pilots also get paid. Even smogland looks half decent from 1000' (if I close my eyes slightly).

Winches are expensive in training for a charity outfit when you look at times they would be used. Its always a balance of kit carried against size / weight / cost and so on. The SAR crews have all the expertise on that side and I would be interested in hearing how often they need to use the winch. Local MRT usually have a good idea if it going to be a winch job or not and will ask ARCC for a Seaking as soon as they think this is the case.
