Should that be CG and ex-RAF? 
Good job.
Many years ago I wrote the Heli Landing Site directory entry for St Kilda, and it hasn't changed much since. A stunningly beautiful place in a flat calm, and a complete bitch any other time. Would be interested if the CHC crew were to post or PM some details of how it went.

I have spent some time out at St Kilda in the past. As you say, staggeringly beautiful but the weather there can be dire: the effects of the islands does not help either. Well done to all involved 
I think that anybody who can do anything, at more than five knots of wind, around St Kilda deserves a ruddy medal. I went there twice in the mid eighties and why I didn't come back on a stretcher is one of my great escapes in life.
