Details
The ILB launched to a report of 2 persons cut off in
Rotherslade. When the ILB arrived on scene 4 minutes
later, a man and child were located on a large rock
east of Rotherslade, due to the tide surrounding the
rock and rough seas hitting the rock they were unable
to get back ashore. Following an assessment of the conditions
and the situation it was decided that it was too dangerous
to attempt a rescue by sea. As the tide had started
to go out it was safer to stand off and await the arrival
of Rescue Helicopter 169 from RAF Chivenor. When the
helicopter arrived the pair were winched to safety and
landed on the beach at nearby Langland Bay. |

Mumbles ILB started a shore-line search of the immediate area defined by the Coastguard, who were conducting a shore-based search. To aid the night-time search, the lifeboat crew set off two white para-flares, and the Coastguard also set off one. The RAF Search and Rescue Sea-King Helicopter 169 was launched to aid in the search. As the ILB was preparing to conduct a creeping-line search, the casualty was located in 2ft of water. Due to the severe hypothermic nature of the casualty and the long distance to the roadway, the casualty was airlifted to hospital by 169, who landed on the beach alongside the casualty. |
