Leaving Chichester Harbour on Saturday, The Solent Coastguard helicopter dropped down a winchman somewhere near East Head by the look of it.

Does anybody know why?
 
They did the same at Swanage yesterday afternoon, along with some very low level maneouvers. Looked like they were providing some free entertainment to the BH crowds to me as they were buzzing around for a good 15 minutes with no real purpose, at least as far as I could see.
 
Only a rough guess - but the HM collapsed whilst sailing his boat on Saturday. He died. Perhaps the helecopter was trying to rescue him.
