Didn't the Bristow Coastguard contract S61's have a 2nd winch fitted after winchman fatality ?
I think you mean BBC News. William Deacon on the Green Lily - 1997.

The line had to be cut after it snagged in the ship's superstructure and could not be used again. A lifeboat at the scene could not approach because of the severity of conditions.
