I'm sure they all knew what they were doing, and this is in no way a criticism (I don't know much about aeromed!), but I was very surprised that the casualty was not put in a lifejacket before being put in the basket and winched.
Does anybody know what's the rationale behind it?
Anyway, best wishes to the chap and I hope he recovers soon.'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

Hope the lads ok, he didn't look the may west.
Lot to be said for having a heli and deck on an opv."He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
"No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."

Anyone who has attended a 'cabin session' will bear witness to the actual amounts of people who could fit in a cabin,certainn 4 berths on Eithne often had three times that amount!Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe

Originally posted by hptmurphy View PostThat was published for SAR purposes in NOTAMs back in the day, look at some of the loads Eithne carried in the early days of Pontus and you'll find that it was far in excess of the 70 odd she was designed to accommodate.

The spec I believe was for 100 survivors

Originally posted by ancientmariner View PostA collapsed lung and torn arteries sounds like major trauma . It would be interesting to hear the circumstances.

Sounds like a fall or crush injury of some description. Best wishes and a speedy recovery to the young man.Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe
