Weather forecast poor until at least Tuesday with further snow and very low temperatures. Pity the guards. I`ve just thawed out Bob , brain working again ! Nice pic of Sandy`s Bee (before badly needed recovering). For those interested, the Ski Area can be seen just in front of the spinner, the downed helicopter is in a high corrie seen between the fin and t/e of wing. Picture taken at 8 miles from slopes in summer.

Tuesday 7th March, 06. The drama continues ! Seems RAF Search and Rescue Sea King (137) only flew to Glenmore Lodge 3 miles to have full service before returning to base at RAF Lossiemouth tomorrow. 138 doing the ferrying of supplies and personell to the site. A Royal Naval Air Service team from RNAS Yeovilton were assisting as they had recently returned from Norway with specialist heating equipment to thaw her out. Navy bails out RAF ooooh , embarassing ! Will post pics soon. Unusual subject for diorama ?

Wednesday 8th March 06. Drama ended. Rescue 137 flew home to RAF Lossiemouth at last.
