Steve

I think you can discount 41-24417 as well.
According to Bishop and Hey they ditched appx 500 yards from shore. To me that sounds like something an ASR organization should be able to take care of without any extra life boat.

Hats off to the ASR by the way. Fifty lucky lives saved and the ASR probably thought, just another day at work.

Cheers
Stig
