Horrible

he retired in 2003.... so just 12 years after this... and lived till 2020...

Big Tam! We'll git oor freedom soon, sir! ❤️

Neil Connery, spitting image.

Nearly 29 years ago can't believe this was ever allowed to happen 😢 I remember when this happened I was only 10. RIP to all those victims

Just discovered this serie... those pilots and crews of the SAR were and still are real life heroes, seeing the risks they take to save lives. Can't forget how they teamed with our own SAR from Belgium to save as much as they could when the Herald of free enterprise sank... they saved a friend of mine that day. Will always own them a huge debt of gratitude not only for this but also for all the good they do every day !

Why are we always made to know what the wife or the girlfriend thinks or feels? I am interested in Sean Connery…THAT’S ALL. Much like John Lennon, I don’t give a damn about Yoko Ono’s feelings!

14:48 is my granny . Im so showing her this now

Ooof “I think you better speak to my Chief Pilot about that… alright? I hope that’s understood” - translation “I know exactly what happened and it certainly wasn’t a mechanical failure, I hope you realise the crew you sent has a camera crew and I can’t speak freely”. From the AAIB report - “Towards the end of the search, whilst performing a hover manoeuvre, a crew member commented that the helicopter was travelling backwards very fast. The Commander’s attempted recovery from this manoeuvre resulted in the aircraft striking the sea and immediately rolling over. All four crew members eventually boarded the life raft and were later rescued by a Sea King SAR helicopter from RAF Lossiemouth which returned them to Stornoway. The report concludes that the causal factors to the accident were: (i) The Commander failed to anticipate the effect of the loss of visual references in uncoupled low speed flight at night. (ii) The Commander suffered a degree of spatial disorientation which led to unintended and undetected backward descending flight. (iii) Following the crewman’s warning, there was insufficient height remaining for the recovery to forward climbing flight which was attempted by the Commander.”

Really pleased to see these again, remember the series on TV. Just watch the baby being taken to hospital, that was intense, great work by all involved, including the bloke in a van who was roped in to take the winchman to the airport and lead the ambulance back to the helicopter.

very enjoyable

Brilliant documentary

This era had the best theme music.

Loved that 👏🏻

Excellent upload. Great watch. Love to hear this bit of rave culture so many years later.

what's the name of opening song

Wish could get hold of the full series

Hi is episode 10 available please. I think I was involved in it. One of the missing.

John Prince is a Boss.👊🧑‍✈️

How, many more times his wife mentions he was poor brought up in poverty well you was not according to you.

Seems like the wife cares more about money and fame and sean cared about being efficient and doing good work.

Wow I thought he was living in the Bahamas at that time Spain is nice for living ❤

been looking for this series on all the streaming services so i’m glad to see it’s up for free on youtube! just gotten through budding rose so looking forward to the rest of the series

❤️

Man it’s crazy how the Bishop and that other guy were absolute buffoons.

Rip from Sean Connery

✔️

39:38 Something very Princess-Anne-like in this young lady…

Loved watching this as a young man. Probably what inspired me to become a commercial helicopter pilot in part, now having over 10,000 hours flying over the North Sea in the past 25+ years. Are you able to locate the missing 5 episodes? Namely 4: Worse Things Happen At Sea, 8: Chox’s Lecture, 9: Water Falls, 10: Missing, 13: Sting In TheTale Be It would be brilliant if you could upload them.

Most enjoyable and informative

And the nomination for the best mustache goes to 1:15:52

This was my absolute favorite show when I was a child living in England.

Good evening everyone

This is really, really good stuff! Kudos and respect the member of the RAF and RN SAR crews over the years...

I remember the meningitis episode - I was a kid watching when it was first shown. I went on to train as a nurse and ended up working at that hospital on Skye. Still live there!

Candel sticks must have candel stick s

Very interesting. Thank you.

Hi team if my memory serves me right Bob Pointney was stationed at R.A.F.Valley 70/71 22sqd.C flight

I remember when they came to help us look for a lost 5 yr old child about 50 Miles away from RAF Kinloss, the local police and rescue teams handed over control of the search to our RAF Kinloss mountain rescue team, we called in the Sea King to help, we were all heartbroken when the winchmen saw him stuck in bushes in the edge of a stream, can't imagine what they actually go through doing this every day.

Brilliant television [on youtube]. Meanwhile on terrestrial TV in 2022, the quality of programming has reached the dizzy heights of Love Island.

Baby story was a tear jerker but he lives today thanks to that rescue! Beautiful brave,good ppl. That's what we need more of in this world!! 🌎

Great series none of the 'modern' patronising overtalk and excessive dramatic music. Clearly Mr Berriff understood the word documentary. I love how cool these guys are even after a ditching it's just like another day at the office. Best of British!

I live on Skye and it doesn’t surprise me that there’s next to no local voices! The area is full of incomers.

Paul Berriff was a very good friend of mine, he founded the Lifeboat on the Humber Estuary which I was a Crewman on, such a resilient man and makes stunning documentaries, thanks for sharing this video, I have a huge soft spot for the Seaking, having worked with them in the SAR world and in the military.

They could've played piano music

💓👍🏿👀 5/9/22

I remember watching these when they were first broadcast. I have them all on DVD now.

Biggest thing I'd like to know is this; is "Baby Sam" still alive, and moreover, I wonder if he's ever seen the episode that detailed the fight to keep him alive. That was a hell of an effort, and lovely to see the crew of 137 go to the hospital to see him.

Watched on Sunday evening, then flipped over for The Wonder Years.

202 Rescue You. Support 202 Sqn .... Get lost. What a job they did.
