As an ex Lossie SAR pilot may I also offer my condolences to the families of the aircrew tragically killed and injured in this terrible accident.
There was nothing worse, when answering the scramble phone, than to hear that one of our own was missing. The need to find them became a driving force - nevermind the weather we would launch in the hope of finding them safe and well.
To find them safe and sound was fantastic but to fail to find them was horrible - could we have done better, where we searching in the right place, had we missed them?
