Series profiling the work of Wales's RAF Search and Rescue crews. Flt Lt Wales flies a Sea King to rescue a young boy injured in a quarry in Blaenau Ffestiniog.

Thrilling rescue footage and real-life drama feature in a new series of Helicopter Rescue, which follows the working lives of RAF Search and Rescue crews patrolling Wales.

This series introduces new faces, amongst them Prince William - HRH the Duke of Cambridge, or Flight Lieutenant Wales as he is known in the RAF. From mountainside to hospital bedside, the series captures the unfolding drama as the iconic yellow Sea King helicopters answer cries for help all over the country.

In this first programme, Flt Lt Wales flies the Sea King to rescue a young boy injured in a quarry in Blaenau Ffestiniog. Winchman Nick Jones from Swansea deals with a serious road traffic accident on his first ever shift, and the crew need to reach two injured mountain bikers - but they're low on fuel.
