Did you know that you can listen to many of your favourite podcasts first on BBC Sounds?

Like Desert Island Discs, where you can hear castaways like Cher, Gareth Southgate and Nick Cave,

and enjoy longer versions of the music they've picked.

Good things come to those who don't wait.

Listen to your favourite podcasts first on BBC Sounds.

Thanks for downloading the Scotland Outdoors podcast.

In this edition, we're going back to March 2015,

while I was lucky enough to spend the day

on a Royal Navy-Seeking search and rescue helicopter

just before the service was replaced by a civilian team operating

out of Presswick. My producer at the time Christopher Slight and I were to find ourselves right

in the heart of the action. We're going to take you through to the survival equipment section

now where we get you kit to out with everything you need for the flight today. So helmets, cover

rolls, etc. And then it'll be nice and safe when we're in the air.

Keep them.

We'll follow you.

I'm Chris Flynn, Lieutenant Royal Navy,

and I'm the observer in today's Sarkro.

You'll be wearing one of these.

This is the Mark 25 Life Preserver.

Basically, it's a life jacket

that is inflated via this beaded handle which will be on the left-hand side.
