The UK MCA issued a video depicting the rescue of an 18 year-old fisherman, who sustained a hand injury onboard his vessel, amid heavy seas on the evening of 2 July.
Just before 8.30pm Tuesday, HM Coastguard received a VHF radio broadcast from a fishing vessel with six people onboard 70nm north east of Stornoway, reporting that one of their crewmen had sustained a hand injury.
The Stornoway coastguard helicopter flew to the scene and winched the fisherman onboard amidst choppy seas.
He was airlifted to Stornoway airport, where a waiting ambulance took him to the Western Isles hospital for treatment.
