Those magnificent men

............in their flying machines.

I feel the need to sing the praises of a group of anonymous men; the helicopter pilots and crew of the RAF. In the last three days they have rescued passengers and crew from three shipwrecks around the British coast, at St. Kilda (the Hebrides), Blackpool (Irish Sea) and the Scilly Isles. When you see pictures of the weather conditions and the fact that two of these rescues were done at night, it is truly miraculous there were no casualties.

All these men should be decorated for bravery. I am so proud of them
