At the biggest helicopter base in Europe, RNAS Culdrose, Glyn Worsnip joins the famous search-and-rescue flight of 771 Squadron and, with Nationwide cameras, becomes the first reporter to live and fly with the crews who patrol the dangerous coasts of Cornwall.
When tragedy struck the 1979 Fastnet Yacht race, 74 lives were saved by 771's search-and-rescue crews. 1980 brought new calls and challenges. With the school holidays starting and the tourist season in full swing - the men of 771 Squadron stood by to ' scramble'.

An Open Door programme made by the Croxteth Community Action Committee.
'Our community, faced with the prospect of becoming a ghost town, where unemployment, housing conditions and juvenile crime are worse than almost anywhere else in Britain, is being told that it cannot keep its last remaining and much cherished asset - its school.

Against local support Sir Keith Joseph insists on shutting it. But, since 9 July, we have been occupying the school
