What a lash-up!! Can you imagine the RNLI or a Naval helicopter making such a hash of it?! Where's the winch and winchman. Is that the Aussies idea of a 'rescue helicopter'?

Nice to think we would be in safer hands if the unfortunate ever occurred!

It was the coast guards helicopter - I assume for monitoring, not a rescue helicopter as such?
