The Coastguard Rescue helicopter crew from Newquay fly 60 miles into the English Channel as they are tasked to an incident on a cruise liner, where a passenger is having a suspected stroke. With the cruise liner trucking along, the helicopter flies alongside the vessel and successfully winches down the Coastguard Paramedic. With no time to waste the casualty is winched up on a gurney, along with his wife, as it's a race against time to get the individual to hospital for urgent medical care.
