Trawler rescued shipwrecked family
An RAF EH-101 Merlin helicopter was scrambled from the Squadron 751 - ‘Pumas’' and took off from Air Base Number Six in Montijo on Oct 10, 2025, at 8.45 p.m. to winch a family from the 'Silmar', that had rescued them after the yacht 'Ti’fare' (MMSI: 227397210), which was rammed by a pod of orcas on the night of Oct 10, and began taking on water, more than 55 miles south-east of Peniche. After the incident, the five people sent a distress call and abandoned the sinking yacht aboard a life raft and were later picked up by the fishing vessel that was in the vicinity. The family was transported aboard the helicopter to hospital, but had escaped without injury. Among them were three children, aged eight, 10 and 12, along with their parents, Once the rescue was successfully completed, the Air Force helicopter returned to BA6 at around 11 p.m. The rescue mission was activated by the Air Force's Lisbon SAR Coordination Centre, following a request for activation from the Lisbon SAR Center, which was coordinating the operation.
