Aberdeen - Rescue teams recovered the body of a helicopter winch man yesterday, 22 hours after he went missing while rescuing 10 crewmen from a ship which had run aground on the coast of Shetland Isles.
Mr William Deacon (50) was swept overboard after the last of the crewmen on board the Green Lilly had been winched on to a search and rescue helicopter. The ship ran aground off Bressay in mountainous seas. An RAF rescue helicopter recovered Mr Deacon's body 10 miles north of the wreck.
