Pictures of SAR flare path?

Just readings few threads here and remembered article I read years back in pilot magazine. Seem to remember a guy flying a jet stream or such having to divert to a base up in Scotland, he advise a low fuel state and that he would most like ditch just short of the coast. The base advised him that if that was the case they would but up an aircraft to put in a flare path on the approach path extended out to sea for him as the vis was down. Buddy made it safe and sound in the end with 5 mins of fuel left. But I wonder if you guys have any photos of what these paths may look like from the air from training ex's ECG? Kind regards to all.
