Issues.
When we talk about the fishing industry today many people get upset about the lack of stocks and the problems of overfishing. Yet every nation that has a coast or large lakes will have fishing families that rely on the industry in one form or another.
People need to sit back and do some research into the history of the industry, one hundred years ago the traditional fish supper fed the masses of the working classes in Britain and Ireland and perhaps in a few other countries too.
The word sustainable is big amongst those who know very little about livelihoods and the dangers of working the seas and lakes with any kind of boats. Many fisher people have been drowned on a lake with a line and hook, apart from severe weather at sea.

Helicopters. Part-Two.
Sea King/S-61 to Eurocopter EC-135/145.
The helicopter in our moder world has become both an essential and invaluable tool. Since last week 9 people were sadly killed, when a EC-135T2 fell out of the skies and hit a pub venue in Glasgow, Scotland. U.K.
But despite this we must not think that helicopters are now dangerous, more people die in the British isles each day in car incidents. They are either at the wheel or are pedestrians, but that does not mean we have to stop driving!
The Eurocopter family were derived from some very succesfull machines such as the Alouette III and the Bolkow BO-105. Both the EC-135 and newer 145 are now widley used across the globe for their versitilty. Police, military, air ambulance, search and rescue, as well as electricity and oil line inspections.
The Westland Seaking and Sikorsky S-61 soldier on with their long range capability for search and rescue, both at sea and mountains. They have a great ability to operate in severe weather conditions. Yet all machines really operate becuase of the skill of very well trained and astute pilots, who take chances only when needs be. Thank you for them.
