Description
The Ultimate Race Against Time: A Night Air-Sea Rescue Dispatched.
A critically damaged RAF Hawker Hurricane, its Merlin engine failing, buzzes low over a lone Supermarine Walrus amphibian in a pitch-black, moonlit Force 6 gale before being forced to ditch into the freezing, treacherous waters of the English Channel.

This is a historically accurate, minute-by-minute CGI recreation of how the Royal Air Force Air-Sea Rescue Service (ASRS) operated under the most brutal conditions to save a downed pilot in the Solent .
Featuring fully authentic sound design, including the roaring Bristol Pegasus radial engine of the Walrus and the desperate scream of the failing Merlin paired with an original cinematic tension score.
Every procedure shown, from the search patterns to the treacherous moonlit touchdown on rough, choppy seas, is meticulously researched for total historical accuracy.
"While this specific encounter is a fictional narrative, every operational procedure, flight characteristic, and emergency protocol is a 100% accurate recreation of real RAF wartime operations."
