At Royal Marines Base Chivenor on the north coast of Devon, an emergency call comes in to the RAF search and rescue (SAR) crew. On the other side of the Bristol Channel, a rock climber has fallen and sustained a serious ankle injury. With details still sketchy, winchman Sgt Ryan Thomas and the crew race to the scene to assess the situation. “Let’s go out and see what we’ve got,” says Sgt Thomas.

During the flight, the SAR crew learns more about the casualty. The 50-year-old man has fallen from a cliff and suffered a compound fracture to the ankle. More importantly, he is suspended on an abseil rope beneath a ledge. “That piece of information makes a lot of difference,” says Sgt Thomas. Having prepared for a rescue from the ground, Sgt Thomas must change his kit and reassess the rescue plan. Upon arrival at the scene, an incoming weather report warns of turbulence, adding to the team’s mounting woes. “This will involve a lot of skill for the guys upstairs,” says Sgt Thomas. “At one point we are going to be connected to the rock via his rope and our winching equipment. It’s a dangerous time.”

The crew of RAF rescue 169 is out on a routine training operation when a call comes in from Swansea coastguard, alerting the lads to a climber who has fallen from cliffs near Bridgend in south Wales. The climber is trapped at the foot of the cliffs after falling five metres onto a brutal terrain of sharp limestone rock. To add to the casualty’s woes, the tide is coming in quickly, putting him at serious risk of drowning.

The casualty is positioned below an overhang, which could cause the crew serious problems. However, pilot Olly Padmore is on hand to skilfully manoeuvre winchman Sgt Paul ‘Haz’ Hunter to the beach below. Once safely on firm ground, Sgt Hunter discovers that the casualty is suffering from a gruesome wrist fracture that has caused the bone to penetrate the skin. He administers morphine to the injured man, but he still cries out in agony. With just two minutes to go before the entire beach is swamped by the incoming tide, the crew faces a challenging winch to get the casualty to safety.

A sailor on board the Chinese vessel has suffered a serious head injury after slipping on deck, but the only available helicopter crew is based 190km away. The coastguard has difficulty getting the panicked captain to calm down, so the exact nature of the casualty’s injuries is unclear.

When RNLI first-aider Lee Hand arrives on the scene, it becomes clear to him that the injured man is in a very bad way. As the casualty slips out of consciousness and blood gushes from a wound on his jaw, Lee decides to use the 40-minute wait for the helicopter to get him onto the RNLI lifeboat, ready to be extracted by the chopper.
