Flood Tragedy in Shrewsbury.

<< < (3/3)

Bush Tucker Man:
Following on from this did anyone read about the helicopter rescue at Stanhope Ford? (County Durham)

The pilot hovered a few inches from the roof so another crew member could clamber onto the vehicle (Audi 80, or 100, estate) & help the guy on-board.

Quite a crowd watching from the banks.

It's a long ford & a regular on the 'LE JOG' classic rally (Lands End to John O Groats)

And then there's the pictures of the Virgin GWR service being battered by high-seas at Dawlish in the papers this morning

(not a paper I buy, but it was the only on-line picture I could find)

Hmm, used to work at the virgin maintainance depot. Had 3 of the new voyagers take a soaking down in cornwall, they got left parked up by a sea wall during a storm :roll:  Fun job getting them working again  :?
