The Valley crew tackles dangerous low cloud in a battle to save an injured man on Snowdon.

Profiling the work of Wales's RAF Search and Rescue crews. The Valley crew tackles low cloud in a rescue mission on Snowdon. The Chivenor squad is scrambled for a maritime rescue.

The RAF's Search and Rescue force deal with some of their most challenging rescues as winter - and a maritime disaster - hit Wales. From mountainside to hospital bedside, Helicopter Rescue captures the unfolding drama of real-life rescues as the iconic Sea Kings answer cries for help all over the country.

Rescue 122 from Valley faces the Sea King's worst enemy - low cloud - in an attempt to save a man injured on Snowdon. In one of the worst maritime accidents of recent years, Rescue 169 from Chivenor is scrambled to try and save eight crewmen lost at sea when their cargo ship is sunk off the Lleyn Peninsula. And for the Valley and Chivenor crews, there is a brief moment to escape the stresses of the job as they prepare for Christmas on base.
