They are my heroes too. Living in the mountains we often hear the Sea Kings from RAF Lossiemouth or HMS Gannet (Prestwick) thundering through a snow storm ... what's that , they cant fly in snow ? Oh no ? Bullsh.... When visibility is so bad they follow they power lines,they have been known to stop and ask the way at remote farms due to landmarks obliterated by snow and guidance systems on-board going off due to weather conditions or other reasons. You might see a clip of the Royal Navy Sea King on a mountain rescue watching the rotor tips and the skipper asks the winch-man in the side door how much clearance he has, the winch-man replies " Plenty of room Boss ,4feet, 4feet, 3feet... thats good Boss, hold, hold" then goes down on the cable to an injured climber stuck on a cliff edge. Heroes every damn one. Or trying to match the rise and fall of a ship on a rough sea in a gale at night. The mind boggles at the skill and bravery of these people. Of course we have HM Coastguard helicopters too and various civilian air ambulance helicopters. Good guys and gals all.
