[sufa256]

Amazing you lucky

[AeroMad91]

You sure they just wanted a look round your boat and not for practice :D

[frogspawn11]

in the uk hm coastguard helicopters have nothing to do with the RN those they do use RN helicopters some time however the crews of the helicopters are trained to v hard standard (theres even some argument aboput weather they are the best in the world) also these helis do no no drugs are weapons raid they are solely for the use of search and rescue my bet wold be that it was asked to take part in a live raining excerise

[chcwtf]

What about a small vessel dead in the water?

uMM - WELL 0 OH

[chcwtf]

Nice work - very professional

Would love to know how these chaps access a small vessel dead in the water.

Would bet my house that most of these chaps are ex military

[nurseDavide]

why did they come? did you carry drug or weapons?!?! :D :D

Last summer I were in Mediterranean sea with my 19 metres yacht and I also recieved a visit from a helo of the Police...they stay behind us flying over our head and after 5 minutes they left our boat.

[JohanGardelius]

Nurse David,

Happy New Year... Well, the British Coast Guard and SAR-service are "real chaps", and terribly poilite, to say the least. They did ask, if it was OK for them to use our aft deck for practice...

Of course, we said YES!

[LisaYR]

Wow. Yeah I would've said yes too. Definately an unforgetable experience.

[whitewingsrich]

That is a S-61N MkII. It has been in the hanger at my local airport (Plymouth) under going maintenance. Me and my fellow enthusiasts were informed by maintenance crew exactly what model it was. At the moment Coast Guard helicopter S-61 G-BDOC is now undergoing maintenance

[magsie666]

'At the moment Coast Guard helicopter S-61 G-BDOC is now undergoing maintenance'

Thats the shetland rescue helicopter but it is now going to holland for SAR

[magsie666]

G-BDOC is the former Shetland SAR helicopter 'oscar charlie'. there are actually 2 s-61 's in shetland, oscar charlie and lima charlie and they had a lot of respect from us locals.

[coasty999]

Just Brilliant!

[Spike1977UK]

Yep they do a hell of a job and enjoyed your vid.

Check out my vid by typing SSILB in the search bar and see me in action ;)

Respect to all SAR people :)

[magsie666]

love those helicopters, shame the coastguard is replacing them with .....umm... a diffrent helicopter.

[littlemo2781]

This is news to me!...any idea what?...the new MERLIN EH101 perhaps??

[magsie666]

actually its the sikorsky s- 92. this is from sikorskys website.... 'Four dedicated SAR S-92 helicopters are going into operation in Scotland in July 2007 to serve the United Kingdom Maritime Coastguard Agency' although thetwo helicopters are similar.

[somurray]

Yes they have 4 new Sikorsky S92's in Scotland but the helicopters that will be replacing the one in the video are actually Augusta Westland AW139's. 2 to be based at Lee-on-Solent and one at Portland i think.

[oODOVETAILOo]

I heard the Portland Bill station is closing & the helicopter will operate from Lee .mind you ,your comment was made a year ago.lol

[freakgeeky]

Those blade are spinning in reverse.

[dacoolguy999]

No ther not ... It's just the speed at which they're spinning makes them look that way

[wantstospooge]

they do one hell of a job, and are often overlooked. nice vid
