Sorry folks, started the activation on SSB as Alerted, but just as I was going to switch to FM I got a call out with the Rescue Team… to a hill about 2km away! How’s that for luck. Anyway, end of activation and off I went.
In the end the Casualty was winched by our very good friends from 22 Squadron RAF Valley. But by the time it was all finished I was out of place to continue the activation and descend in daylight. I’m not sure of the casualties precise condition but it wasn’t a life threatening injury so you shouldn’t be concerned for them.
As an aside, two weeks ago I was on Fairfield G/LD-007 and ended up helping Langdale and Ambleside team with another job (sadly a fatality this time).
So, for now I suggest you all stay well away from any hills I am activating…
