Close encounter with the Coast Guard helicopter while kayaking on Llyn Padarn last summer. It supports Mountain Rescue in Snowdonia, I've seen a lot of it!

Same chopper on a job over Glaslyn, Snowdon, during a previous visit:

Yep, definitely been snowed-on-'ere!

Kind of you to say, but it's a bit like building Spitfires... with source material like that, it's hard to go wrong!
