Anyone else see this one come up from the guy stuck in the simpson late last year?

Rather than focusing on what the guy did wrong it is info on what happens when you hit the "oh dear" button on your epirb/spot etc

Great info. I never thought of using a UHF to talk to a rescue aircraft. I learnt something.

Agreed, I learnt something as well.
No matter how well you plan, Murphy always has the last say.

I`d like to meet him, bugger`s got a lot to answer for.

Aircraft mostly use different frequencies, it just would be that that the rescue aircraft had a CB UHF fitted for just that reason.

I did wonder why with the simpson desert being UHF 10 they called on 40 ?

least they got hold of them and got out.

The pilot generally sits on the left, you'd hope he didn't have a mate along for the ride

Classic.

That is a classic, once again highlights lack of sovereignty caused by global trade and the fact we are now run by the un elected mega rich and elite that make the big $$ decisions, hopefully things change on our planet before its to late.
Pretty funny when presented like that though
