Although great fun, everyone who was on board immediately appreciated how, and what the pilots look for when trying to locate an incident. People are so small when viewed from the helicopter, they are not actually small just far away ;-) .
So it's no real use waving your hands when on the ground as you won't be seen until the helicopter is up close. In fact even the blue lights aren't too clear. Best way appears to be a group of people wearing bright yellow, or the roof of the Coastguard Rescue Vehicle - again bright yellow.
It's certainly changed my mindset when working with the helicopter. A really useful exercise.
