Purplemaniacs Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Brilliant, we all hope we never need them but it is good to know that they are there if we get into trouble, thank you to all those who give up their time and risk their own lives to save others.

Angie Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Wow a parrafin budgie .... nice they are used in training with the RNLI, i have been in quite a few but never had to be rescued myself....prefer the chinook myself ( you get more bodies into it.) Seriously they all do a most wonderful job and we are so lucky to have people that will give up their time to help others , most of which is done in the most unpleasant of weather conditions and often in the dark.......Well done that man.xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Speckled Hen Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Ahhhh I think our lot work with the RAF and Sea Kings. Chinooks often fly along the valley here. My grandson is obsessed with them and always runs out to wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
