What is not obvious in II's dscription is that it was at night! Moreover, the power on the rig had failed by the time the final extraction was carried out - so no lights!

I (finally!) have found a photo of RFA Engadine showing the flight deck with running Wessex. As mentioned, landing on the forward spot at night with the aft occupied by another machine didn't leave a lot of clearance :ok:
