Dangle and deliver

A naval helicopter and a naval vessel were back-and-forthing and bobbing around Start Bay today, clearly practising winching / being winched from helicopter to ship. All this was happening on the horizon as we watched from Blackpool Sands, and goes to show what a fine zoom this little point-and-click camera has. I expect it'll be new recruits testing learning the ropes. Here's a ditty to help the pilot:

Locate ship, hover (stop),
Open hatch, dangle, drop!
