I've been hijacked by work this week - both design and rescue - so this week's late pic is from yesterday's training flight on table mountain - we managed two and a half hoists before the winch jammed - with me and another team member on it! We enjoyed a short flight suspended under six tonnes of hovering metal while the pilot considerately deposited us next to a path in the valley, rather than plonking us back on the pinnacle we had just been lifted from (much appreciated considering that the weather was blowing in at at 32 knots and it would have been a long cold scramble down!)
The exercise was cut short, but we had a very scenic flight back to base...
