BBC "Caught on Camera" Rescue RAF Spadeadam.

Post by AndrewBarclay » Tue Dec 08, 2020 4:14 pm

On Tuesday the 8th, December, 2020 The BBC Program " Caught on Camera " aired the rescue of a teenager who had fallen 30 foot into the
waterfall on the River Irthing approx 800 yards south of Wiley Syke at RAF Spadeadam the film shows a Coast Guard Helicopter hovering over the waterfall, in attendance were two mountain rescue teams who assisted with the rescue. It maybe that this is old news and is well known to the forum but I found it interesting. Of course the waterfall was in news in the summer when hordes of teenagers invaded D 510.

Edit; The broadcast was from 11.45am to 12.15pm today in short segments. maybe available on i player.
