Still Waters Posted January 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 15, 2017 An army reservist who broke his leg on a beach used Morse code with his torch to signal for help. Sgt Tim Robinson was walking on beaches in Seatown, near Lyme Regis in Dorset, when he slipped on some seaweed. As it was getting dark, Sgt Robinson, who was visiting from Derbyshire, used his torch to signal "SOS" in Morse code to his wife, more than a mile away. The 54-year-old reservist, who has done three tours in the Middle East, is now recovering in Dorset County Hospital. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-38629170 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redefining Success Posted January 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Can't beat a good torch, and most of the modern Cree LED torches have an SOS / strobe effect. I rarely go anywhere without a torch and have plenty dotted around the house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do, it appears I have a fetish for maglites, buy them broken and can get 99% working in 2 min, really need to cut down on them though. Currently have a xl200 as a daily.
