Beeb now reporting 2 rescued

RNLI boats launched from Wick, Invergordon and Buckie.

The story here along with AIS data from the SAR Helo leads to the conclusion of a crash into/around the area of the Beatrice Rig Complex...

Hope the other 2 are found soon and found safe, Helo back on its way out now from the look of it...

Bad news, gentlemen. Fingers crossed for the other crew.

WereBear 3rd Jul 2012 15:09
