SAR

Postby Mayfly » Thu May 10, 2012 12:44 pm

Seems to be a day for it today.

VC10 helping with control and comms relay for a 35' yacht in trouble 800 miles [ish] off the Azores and a ditched Helicopter 23 miles off Aberdeen in the North Sea. All Pax reported in life rafts.
In memory of a very dear friend - Mike Pearson

Very fond memories of Robbie Gilvary - DTs 1st Vulcan Captain who taught DT all he knew.

Nice to see the venerable VC10 is the NEW NIMROD! :-o
