Description

One frigid February night in 2004, a 442 Squadron Cormorant took off from 19 Wing Comox to recover four stranded mariners. Their 79-foot fishing vessel Hope Bay had capsized just past midnight some 56 nautical miles north of Vancouver Island, handing the four seamen over to the violent, icy waters of Queen Charlotte Sound. As with any other search and rescue mission, a quick response was crucial. By the time the helicopter crew showed up, a fixed wing Buffalo aircraft had already been on the scene for an hour awaiting their arrival after having homed in on the site via the boat's distress beacon. While maintaining a 100-foot hover, with visual aid provided by strobe lights and flares dropped from the Buffalo, the Cormorant was able to recover the one survivor and two of the deceased crew members from the capsized trawler that night. Because of low fuel, the SAR crew had to return the following day for the fourth body.
