I don't remember that the Nimrod ever rescued anyone either.......
I do recall diverting into Shannon after remaining on task to PLE having located some unfortunate whose yacht was one of a few that couldn't cope with the weather during a race.
Taxying in and wondering what duty free booze to take home while the refuel took place, my thoughts were interrupted on hearing a call from the tower:
Tower: Err ... Rescue 51, are you the Nimrod?
Co-pilot: Tower, Rescue 51 - affirmative.
Tower: Roger. Have you been involved in the yacht race search?
Co-pilot: Affirmative.
Tower: Roger. Do you have any survivors on board?
A stunned silence followed.
