fisbang did the right thing asking for help, but the best way for people to help is get out on foot and have a look. Borrow a dog if you don't have one cause they are always the best search tool as previously stated the helicopter is not always the best tool in the box.
If you have a heli please land it get out and have a look. Untrained inexperienced searching pilots will cause more grief and if a crash happens then the resources will be dealing with that and not the original task.
Even the best get sucked into the moment and a small loss of spatial awareness will catch you out very quickly.

fisbangwollop,
My sincere commiserations. Sorry I couldn't help and sorry if my "drivel of bull****", which was offered as support for the issue, caused you further upset.
