HM Coastguard helicopter is seen flying northwest along the Sound of Mull yesterday at 1.50pm, with the Glengorm communication masts to the left. The helicopter, a Sikorsky S-92, is based at Stornoway, about 45 minutes flying time from Kilchoan.
The Stornaway helicopter had to go to Dunoon to pick up casualties from wrecked mobile homes as Navy helicopter at Prestwick was unable to operate in cthese conditions according to press reports. Richard Houston
This is why the Scottish Ambulance Service's promises to West Ardnamurchan about prompt response from their medical helicopters are rubbish. Over the last few weeks, I would love to know how many west coast emergency cases have been evacuated by SAS helicopter.
