27th May 2014 - Looe RNLI - Shout 19.

In response to a call from HM Coastguards in Looe, the D Class inshore lifeboat D-741 Ollie Naismith is launched to assist a person in difficulty.

In strong winds he has fallen of an inflatable dingy which has blown away.

I managed to catch some of the action from Hannafore.

THere were a couple more inflatable dinghies out there but they were unable to get close to the person in the water.

Using inflatable dinghies is very dangerous,
