No, I planned getting a photo because I knew yesterday that the lift was going to take place (several of the Llanberis Mountain Rescue team are friends of mine) but the rain was so heavy I stayed in the house. I live 500yds from Lyn Padarn but was not quick enough to get my camera out, besides while I had clear vision all I would have in a photo is a lot of raindrops!

P.S. Yes, the rescue was successful, the team had a very long carry with the stretcher.
The Sea King suffered a big leak from the hydraulics & it blew out next to the exhaust (a design fault??)
the oil is at 3000psi & the leak forms a flammable cloud, the crew had to get out very fast!! Luckily the Sea King
was on the ground, at the time, otherwise it could have been a disaster, but there was no explosion, or fire.

P.S.S. The rain has stopped & even some sunshine, now the event (lift) has passed, I think that's called Sods Law!
