HMS Bulwark, Dorset Police and a Coastguard Connection

Last week there was an Olympic test event in Weymouth involving many agencies like the Royal Navy, Dorset Police, UK Borders Agency and the MCA.

Dorset Police have released a short video

Check out the Merlin Helicopter.....now there's one to get at Peveril Point, if it would fit?

Helicopters at Swanage

In the latest in the series of Helicopters landing at Peveril, here is "Navy 172" landing.

Based at Portland - 772 squadron were regularly landing and training with us - very happy days

This photo was taken around 1993 - and worrying I took it !

Whats that in the sky............

This photo passed to me thanks to David Haysom at Swanage Museum shows a Dragonfly helicopter of the Royal Navy land at Peveril Point for the 1st time.

Having checked the records it appears the 1st rescue carried out by helicopter in Swanage was around 1969 however I believe this photo is earlier than this.

A possible Coastguard stands to the left?
