The last few days have been sublime with the light levels and this morning it was the foggy conditions to render a mini scoop for me. Looking like it was floating in the AW139 with its safety floats all out made a sight for sore eyes, and looking something a bit different from the usual stuff we see! The crew brought her in like it was a well trained drill and safely down, even had time for a laugh.One of the crew reminded me of Rigsby from "Rising Damp", as he might have recalled the past events to the waiting ground crew...

A timely catch!
Wonder if it was a case of 'what does this button do'?

If a man speaks when he is alone in a forest and there are no women around to hear him, is he still wrong?
