showed great skill remaining in a full power hover over the freighter's deck, just a few feet from a 30-foot (9-metre) mast.

Does the Merlin really require full power to hover at 30ft with (guessing) half-fuel load and 5.5 persons on board?

To echo GBZ, and to counter all the curiously adverse comment above, let me borrow the title of another thread currently running in this forum and simply say Well done to all involved!!

Funny thing is she looks like a lssie I saw recently at a hot location in the middle east that has Navy Merlins ?

I was sure she got pished one night in the bar as it was her birthday

I may of course be wrong as after a few wee cheeky beers eyesight and old age does kick in
