Once again, especulators making up data. (Wrong call-sign Helimer105, Wrong picture of a S61). The usual suspects at work....

Confirmed is the AW139 of Almeria.

Pilot: Jose Luis López
Co-Pilot: Kevin Holmes aka "the kiwi", a hell of a nice guy
Winch operator: Alberto Elvira

Rescued rescuer: Iñigo Vallejo. He's at the hospital, minor injuries, recovering from a mild hypothermia will be walking home tomorrow.

At sunrise divers went searching for them, but we fear the worst.

They were 4 miles off the runway, established on the ILS Approach to LEAM, returning from the training flight.

Our thoughts go with wives and family.

Stay safe
