Bu99er, was planning on heading up the top of the Angus Glens for a wander this weekend. Don't think I'll bother now, given the forecast. Wouldn't want to stretch the assets.

Hope it's a quiet weekend for the SAR & MRT crews.

Royal Irish Regiment (for supplying a hooker)
I didn't realise the RIR provided those sort of services, but I'm sure it was appreciated on a cold Scottish hillside!

Well done to all concerned.

Talking

Just to put your minds at rest - aircraft was finally recovered on Wed (hyd pipe repaired and flat battery replaced). After a lot of drying out and a couple of vibe runs it was back on-line Friday morning.

Want me to put my boys on standby to come and help? If its going to become a regular gig we could consider forward basing some of the chaps?

Just a thought

Just remember even your boys would not have been on the hill were it not for a party of RAF MR troops keeping watch!
