Exercise starts with a missing ill man aged 70. The team is split in two two teams and the search starts, the mobile is sent ahead to do a quick search and to relay all Radio traffic between teams and keep a over all picture of what is happening, it also has the main rescue equipment
With the Casualty Located the team sets about setting up the rescue equipment to send down a coastguard to recover the man. Who played by our Dummy who is always getting hurt or going missing .
we see one of our new members Chris going over for the first time. to recover the causality. No pressure Chris you are only being filmed for the web site as well
Safely down Chris sets about recovering the Dummy. For this exercise as it was his first time recovery was made using a rescue strop, we also carry stretchers to recover
"UP WE GO" Chris makes his way up with the dummy don't worry by the way it is hanging this way of recovery is for use with a walking casualty only our dummy will not walk any where the lazy so and so we have to carry him every where?
