From the Chopper

If you have seen some of the fantastic aerial pictures on this website of vessels such as CLANSMAN and HEBRIDES, you maybe wondering how they were taken. The answer is quite simply - from a Helicopter!
Winchman Chris Murray from the Coastguard Helicopter 'Mike Uniform' based at Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis and, serving the waters on the western seaboard of Scotland, very kindly submits these superb pictures for us to view.
