Wanting to use some video for training of a rescue of a MOB.
There was a documentary made about 1999 Hobart. (Not 1998)
Maybe made by one of the northern Tasmanian tv stations.
I had a VHS tape of it but it got "borrowed"
There is little media coverage otherwise as there was a fuel shortage and even Richard Bennett had trouble getting aloft.

If anyone has a copy or can point me in the right direction let me know.
Cheers

Plenty of man overboard rescue procedures on utube but nothing in OZ

Well done, I think "highway" was in the title.
I was chasing the footage of the "Van Dieman" off Bay of Fires doing a MOB rescue.
Definitely not flat water or sunny day.
Doing some training for some people going to Hobart.
So thanks,

Quick google search show I am not the only one looking for it.
I am on the right track, seems it gets used in French SSSC courses.

I watched it on VHS at a mates place in WA years ago whilst on a windsurfing trip, hard to forget once watched!
