Climber airlifted at Winspit

 

The Swanage Coastguard team were tasked to Winspit to support colleagues at St Albans Coastguard and the crew of the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance. 

The call just before 2pm reported a climber fallen several metres receiving head and chest injuries. 

The Coastguard teams assisted in the transfer of the climber to the aircraft supporting the aircrew. 

As by chance one of aircrew paramedic “Chris” was on his first day on the helicopter and had previously served on the Coastguard team at Swanage.  From all of your friends Chris we are so proud of your achievements.
