Summary
[edit]
| Description |
Last wave before returning to base. Little did they know that later on that day/night the Boscastle disaster rescue operation would take place. A large helicopther rescue operation involving two Royal Air Force Sea King rescue helicopters from Chivenor, three Royal Navy Sea Kings from Culdrose, one RAF Sea King from St Mawgan and one Coastguard S61 helicopter from Portland were tasked to search for, and assist, casualties in and around the town of Boscastle. Casualties were trapped on roofs, in cars, in buildings and on areas around the riverbank. A total of 91 people were rescued during the operation, coordinated by the Aeronautical Rescue Coordination Centre (ARCC), based at RAF Kinloss in Scotland. Through their efforts there were no fatalities. |
