Whether saving desperate survivors from a sinking ship or flying into the teeth of storms to search for drowning sailors, the work of a search and rescue pilot is vital, dangerous, thrilling and also on the edge. Jerry Grayson is the most decorated search and rescue pilot in history. This is his story.
Jerry Grayson served in the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm for 8 years, in the course of which he was presented with the Air Force Cross by the Queen for outstanding gallantry in search and rescue. Since leaving the Navy he has become one of the film industry's leading helicopter pilots, designing and shooting aerial action sequences for James Bond films as well as hundreds of commercials and footage for documentaries. He now lives in Australia.
Interesting to read a different viewpoint of that tragic Fastnet
Race. Grayson's recollection is moving: it reads like a roll-call
of terror.
