Details

At 1154, whilst already out on exercise, the lifeboat was requested to assist the 16' angling dinghy "Mudskipper", broken down with gearbox  failure off Herne Bay.

The casualty was asked to fire a red flare, which confirmed it's location as west of Herne Bay pier head, and it was then taken in tow by the lifeboat to Herne Bay harbour.
