The team arrived at the designated emergency RVP along with emergency service colleagues as part of a well rehearsed emergency response plan with the aircraft landing safely a short time later.
With the aircraft safely on the ground and no further assistance required, all HM Coastguard SAR assets were stood down to return to their respective stations.

Search and Rescue - it's what we do.
