Aerial footage: snow in Cumbria

Aerial footage shows cars and trucks battle with a blanket of heavy snow that has settled over Cumbria after blizzard conditions.

Heavy snow and high winds have left tens of thousands of homes without power while dozens of motorists had to be rescued after becoming stranded in snow drifts of up to 15 feet overnight.

In Cumbria, 72 motorists were left trapped and specialist teams had to deploy special vehicles with caterpillar tracks to complete a rescue operation.

Gary Parsons, Bay Search and Rescue's station officer, said: They were all a little bit chilly and shaken. The snow came down so fast and it was driven by the wind - that was the big factor. It got up to 14 or 15 feet around hedges.

It was a freak weather event. We've never seen anything like it up here before. It was not a Cumbrian scene at all, more like something you see in Canada or somewhere like that.

Two ex-military snowcat vehicles were used to reach stranded motorists and transport them to a nearby school hall which served as an overnight emergency centre.

Forecasters said it was expected to be Britain's largest snowfall since 1981, with wintry conditions expected to stretch into Sunday afternoon for most parts of the country.

Cairngarroch Bay in the South Rhins

A look at Cairngarroch Bay and Red Cave on the South Rhins in South West Scotland.
Back in WW2,Cairngarroch Bay was the scene of a very poignant and tragic air crash.
Two American Dakota planes carrying wounded D-Day survivors flew into thick fog as they approached the Rhins coast on their way to Prestwick and then the United States.
But the men in one of them never returned home, nor did the crew and one RAF man from Ayr who had hitched a lift home with his bicycle - 22 in total. For it flew too low and crashed into cliffs at Cairngarroch Bay near Portpatrick.
Now out of print,Sandy Rankins book 'The Rhinns' Forgotten Air Disaster' tells the harrowing story.
The floor of Red Cave is totally covered with flotsam and jetsam,hence the dodgy camera work.
Occasionally above the sound of the waves can be heard a noisy Oystercatcher.
