During episode #1.6, "High Seas", stock footage is used to depict a stricken yachtsman being rescued by a Seahawk helicopter. While the exterior shots show a US Navy helicopter, the shots from inside the Seahawk are of a Royal Australian Navy crew winching a sailor to safety. This is actual footage of a real rescue the RAN performed in January 1997, when a British yachtsman, Tony Bullimore, capsized in heavy seas off the southern coast of Australia during the "Vendee Globe" around-the-world yacht race.
