During the British Oxygen Company solo around-the-world yacht race, Isabelle Autissier departed the Kerguelen Islands on 17 December 1994, heading east to sail south of Australia. Her 60-foot boat, Ecureuil Poitou-Charentes II, sailed into stormy 60-knot winds and rough seas in the Southern Ocean, and both her masts snapped. She set off her EPIRB (emergency beacon) in the hope of being rescued.
Dean 'T-bag' Tetley was the co-pilot on 37 Squadron's A97-167, and in this episode he recounts the tale of how his crew helped save Isabelle.
T-bag also talks about his ingenious solution during the search for a PNG ferry, the MV Matina, and flight operations in PNG, including his experiences on Operation Ples Drei.
