Any news?
I was just a trip across the fjord to Stavanger today and enjoying a windy ferry crossing. Remembering when Sleipner sunk and when Alexander Kielland flipped over, and how the great 330 Sq saved a lot of lives.
Today we had another storm with a name, Birk , I think.
The other day I talked with an old mechanic from the PBY Catalina. Interesting chap. Like a cat , used most of his nine lives.
The 330Sq first flew out of Island in 1941 and is Norways oldest operational squadron.
Anyone knows if the factory pilots was involved in this or was it my local heros !
Anyway
Lets bring on the new bird.
Looking forward to see and hear it, I can "ident" a Seaking by the sound.
And the fact they are out when the rest of us are cancelling the trip to the woodshed until the weather gets better.
A merry Xmas to all and especially You SAR folks
