Late on the aflernocn of August 8, the Needles Coastguard alerted the Search ami Rescue Flight, HMS Daedalus, that a boat was in difficulties in Totland Bay, Isle of Wight. An aircraft was scrambled to go to the scene. However, a helicopter of HMS Endurance Flight, on a photographic task in the Totland Bay urea, had already spotted the boat, with just its bows above water and three people clinging to it. They were quickly winched aboard the helicopter and flown to the Sick Bay at HMS Daedalus. Lee-on-Solent.
