YOU can never have too many photographs of a futuristic-looking rescue submarine being driven into the cargo bay of one of the world’s largest transport aircraft.
This is the NATO Submarine Rescue System being inched aboard an RAF C17 Globemaster at Prestwick Airport in Scotland as the Navy’s ultimate ‘emergency service’ is tested.
Over the next week or so, the white submarine will carry out a mock rescue from a stricken boat off Norway to test the ability of the ?47m system – and the men and women behind it – to respond to a crisis anywhere in the world.
