Thumbs up

The chaps have rung their squadron from Lincoln and apologised for their poor parking! The aircraft is sat in about 2 meters of water in the middle of the Humber Estuary just off Brough. One chap was rescued by the local charity run inshore lifeboat 'Humber Rescue' and the second was lifted from his single-seat by an SAR helicopter from Leconfield. Wattisham also sent a Sea King and the Humberside Police Air Support Unit did some valuable spotting as the first aircraft on scene.

(Not the only air crash today unfortunately. Unable to post details other than it was non mil with 2 fatalities)
