Hope everyone got out ok.

Source for this info scz4?

I'm on the Alwyn the now, we had a flight leave not long ago going via Sumburgh - if anyone hears of the company/origin, please post up, even if unconfirmed.

Thanks

I'd rather not say, but it's reliable.

No recent updates. Sorry.

All passengers and crew accounted for, Controlled ditching according to the North Sea tigers page on Facebook.

Good news, thank Christ.

[scz4]

Great news.

Have a look on http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/ you can see the location by searching for the HJALTLAND ferry.

too much conflicting comments to know if thats true at the moment but hopefully it is.

9 still missing according to Sky News, I'm hoping they are wrong and the poster above is right.

It is indeed, judging by a comment just posted, my previous statement is not true.
I hope to god that the comment isn't correct though

The Hjaltland is still in a search pattern along Quendale Bay by the looks of it. Really hope the last 3 are picked up.

[Lefty]

Comments suggest a flight from Alwyn, 3 unaccounted for.

[onlynik]

Coastguard reporting 15 rescued, 3 missing.

fk I was on there for 2 years! I hope the last 3 are found as soon as.
