Rebecca Lawson being carried away by helicopter after her rescue from
Kaninchenh&ouml;hle in 1989. Owing to the amount of caving gear strewn
around, the chopper could not land close to the entrance, so Becka was
carried some distance, then lifted by cable and taken a bit further
away to a spot where a safe landing could be made.</p>

<p>[note on photography - the original slide, being shot straight into the
sun, is almost a silhouette; I've fiddled on for quite a while with contrast
curves to get this much detail out of it, but will have another go after all
the other pictures are on the site. AERW]</p>
