Just read that a helicopter has ditched in the ETAP field off Aberdeen,

Since we have a few members in the area, I hope they are not involved or their family's and everyone comes home safe and sound

Thankfully it all seems to have gone well... We were put on alert as we are pretty close. The emergency response is so well practiced but it really is a nightmare scenario and doesnt bear thinking about...

What about a medal for the pilots.
