HMS ENDURANCE flight.

Please excuse the intrusion from a civvy.

I was watching Ice Patrol on National Georgaphic last night. It featured the problems faced by the RN's Ice Patrol Ship off Cape Horn.

The ship's flight of Lynx helos was ashore when the accident happened.

How did the aircraft get back to the UK?

I would imagine with military transport aircraft in such high demand, there'd be no chance of a life in a C17 back to the UK.

Is there a procedure for bringing stranded bits of kit back home? HMS NOTTINGHAM's Lynx I suppose is another example.

Cheers

Dan.
