I recall visiting the offices of Bristow Helicopters in Stornoway, Lewis when they had the Coastguard contract using S61's. I saw many photos of Billy Deacon, who was lost on the 19th of November 1997 having saved 10 lives from the Green Lily in huge seas. I couldn't even begin to imagine the loss his colleagues suffered that night, not to mention his family and friends. Sadly the colleagues of this man won't have to and I wish them and his family and friends well in the healing process.
