Notes:

Pictured just about to lift off from the West End car park in Fort William. Operating in support of the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team who had gone to the aid of an injured climber on Ben Nevis. Normally this job would be done by S-61s from RNAS Gannet but they were preoccupied searching for a light plane down in the Cairngorms.
