THanks for the offer....

Getting dragged in early hours one Bank Holiday Saturday for a Standby call-out.
HF fire across the Irish Sea, radio set now somewhere on seabed. Refuel at Valley SARTU where thoughtful land rovers formed a landing spot -but it would have been easier without the headlights as Goggles closed down.
Through Snowdonia to Heathrow from Aldergrove.
Moonlit evening then flashes of lightning again glaring the goggles out - it was the early 90s ;-)
Circling over Shrewsbury - which was just a glow through the low cloud cover below - whilst the ‘co’ changed the DECCA chain.......South toward Lyneham then direct to 09L mid-point to repatriate our ‘compassionate’ with his dying father. Lift direct to Odiuos for a well-earned cuppa and return via the Welsh coast on BH Monday pebble-dashing nude sunbathers - Happy Days
