A rescue 100 miles off the Isles of Scilly has lead to two RAf servicemen to get a bravery award.

Flight Lieutenant Kevin Berry and Sgt Neil Harrison were each awarded the Air Force Cross for airlifting a fisherman from his boat in high seas last year.

The servicemen braved 90mph winds and rough seas to rescue the 44 year old fisherman. The man suffered internal injuries and was taken to Treliske Hospital.
