We didnt get to fly today but when they learned the last time we trained with them was 7 years ago
they were very keen to to bring us up to spec . Because we are independant and not part of the RNLI ( Royal National Lifeboat Institute ) all our funding is done by ourselves and we dont always have set procedures with the big boys .All RNLI stations have Air sea helicopter training once a year . So the guys from the RAF were very keen to train with us and train us . So in the very near future they are coming out to do training out to sea which includes bringing the boat into the right position under the helicopter and also being winched up ;D ( how cool will that be ) . Be sure of one thing , no matter how much adrenalin is running through my veins I will have a camera with me
