Gala Day - Helicopter Visit.

Great news - A Search and Rescue helicopter, based at Lossiemouth, will now be making an appearence on Gala Day (Sunday 26th July 12 noon till 5.00pm) Subject to availability and operational requirements

The pictures you see here are from a real incident that came about as a result of a report that an inflatable sunbed was found in the sea just off Boyndie beach, near Banff. Two young children had been seen playing on it and there was no sign of them. A full scale search involving the Coastguard, Macduff lifeboat and Raf took place - all ended happily with two confirmed reports that the children had been seen leaving the area with an adult - wonder if they found out what they had started

Makes you realise how lucky we all are to have this in place to help in emergencies
