Report from the BBC here vessel currently en route to Falmouth after an abandoned airlift attempt

[John Jefferies]

There is some suggestion that Horncliff may divert to Cork as it has not been possible to remove the injured captain and crew by helicopter.  I monitored it on VHF last night  from Cork.  Another attempt will be made this morning.
