Rescue Me
Posted: Tuesday, 17 June 2008 |
Last weekend was Lifeboat Day in Lerwick, so Consort & I ventured north to the metropolis to support it. A highlight of the each Lifeboat Day is the trip by the Northlink ferry from the terminal around the south end of Bressay to Noss and back. It always includes a display by the lifeboat and rescue helicopters. Consort had never been before so, with her not being a good sailor, was unsure how she would take it.
She loved the display by the rescue services and was amazed at how close they flew the helicopters. We're in safe hands if we get into trouble at sea.

HI Carol, our Oscar Charlie helicopter is flown by the Coastguard. If you were picked up in a yellow chopper - then it was one of thr RAF's rescue helicopters
