Hung up on a Sea King winch 20ft from the door after taking Medivac from HMS Seal Lion. Instructions to standby for cable release met by much verbal opposition from myself as Submarines don’t have rescue boats and a good swell was running. Lasting memory of Sea Lion was smell of diesel, pork chops and my rising bile. Patient had his appendix out and was recovered into cab but I was put off Submarines for life. Not flying though as long as A/C had 2 engines or more. Anon
