Rescue at sea

An image from 2008 again, I made this for a calendar.
The image depicts a Dornier 24 of the KNIL (freely translated as: Royal Netherlands Indonesian Airforce) coming in for a rescue in heavy seas. The Dornier 24 was designed and built after a dutch specification by the german aircraft company and later pressed into service for the German Search and Rescue as well. It was known as a very capable aircraft that could cope with heavy seas quite well.
