Kieran Murray’s accomplishments included one record-breaking rescue mission that resulted in the greatest number of people saved by a single helicopter in the UK.

In recent years he worked with his son, Kieran jun, a search-and-rescue captain, and the pair signed off in style with three final call-outs in his final weekend.

Enjoy your retirement, Kieran! :)

Congrats Paddy from one of your old SAR Captains at Sumburgh SAR. Retirement IS good
