Photo Comment

HMS Gannet SAR Flight worked regularly together with the RAF Mountain Rescue teams. On this cold Saturday in March, the Sea King crew picked up a team from RAF Leuchars who had been training near Stob Ghabhar, south of Glen Coe, for most of the day. It was rather cold and windy up there!
