ust before 8.30pm on 2 July HM Coastguard received a VHF radio broadcast from a fishing vessel with six people onboard 70nm north east of Stornoway, reporting that one of their crewmen had sustained a hand injury.
The Stornoway coastguard helicopter flew to the scene and winched the fisherman on board amidst choppy seas.
He was airlifted to Stornoway airport where a waiting ambulance took him to the Western Isles hospital for treatment. We wish him a speedy recovery.
