Helicopter Training -July 2003

Each year we are fortunate to be provided with at least one days training with Rescue 177 from HMS Gannet at Prestwick. The helicopter trains with us throughout the day, giving us the opportunity to familiarise ourslves with the aircraft and also the procedures for entering and leaving the aircraft - including winching!
