| Description: | The Royal Air Force has developed a new rescue technique to snatch people trapped under the 300-foot cliffs at Ramsgate, England. They drop a rescuer and life-raft and then blow them to the victim with the copter downdraft. It makes it easier to save the foolhardy from themselves. Ramsgate, Kent Ramsgate Cliffs of England, and there's a rescue going on. A man who is standing chest deep in water caught by the tide. A helicopter lowers a man sitting in a raft on top of the water. The rescue worker makes his way to the man who is standing under the overhang of the cliff. He pulls the man onto the raft. The helicopter has a safty line hanging from it and it is tied on to the raff and the copter slowly pulls the raft away from the jagged cliffs to the safety under the helicopter, it hovers and pulls the men up and aboard the helicopter. Looking down on to the two men attached to the safty line of the copter. Aerial - air to air - Men being pulled aboard the copter. | |
