Title: RAF winch crew off North Sea ship
Post by: casper on March 21, 2007, 11:11:11 AM
Three crew members have been winched off a cargo ship which got into trouble in gale force winds in the North Sea.
The Humber Way began listing after its cargo of lorries and trailers slipped in heavy seas 20 miles (32km) off Spurn Point on the East Yorkshire coast.

Two RAF helicopters were sent to the scene and took the three cadets, who were on their first voyage, off the vessel, the Humber Coastguard said.
