A crew from the Northland Rescue Helicopter won the top award at the 2022 NZ Search and Rescue (NZSAR) awards held at Parliament last week.
Pictured after receiving their Gold – Operational Award are, from left, critical care paramedic Paul Davis, pilot Lance Donnelly, co-pilot Alex Hunt and critical care paramedic Josh Raravula.
The crew, together with a number of other emergency and rescue agencies and individuals, were recognised for their outstanding efforts when the charter fishing vessel Enchanter capsized off the North Cape on the night of March 22 last year.
The NZSAR also acknowledged the Auckland Westpac Rescue Helicopter team who were actively involved in recovery efforts in the days following the incident.
